| Additional information |
The Baikal-Amur Mainline — the BAM — was one of the most punishing infrastructure projects in Soviet history, driven through permafrost, seismic zones, and near-impassable taiga across nearly 4,300 kilometers. Construction began in earnest under Brezhnev in 1974 using a labor force that included hundreds of thousands of Komsomol volunteers, and the line wasn't fully operational until 2003. This coin commemorates the 40th anniversary of that 1974 construction push.
The Bank of Russia issued this as part of its ongoing commemorative bullion program — mintage was capped at 500 pieces.
