| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a detailed high-relief rendering of the Soviet Lunokhod-1 lunar rover traversing the Moon's surface, with the Moon's cratered disc looming prominently in the upper background against a stippled lunar sky. The scene is framed within the tantalum central disc, contrasting with the silver outer ring, which is decorated with a border of small five-pointed stars. The Cyrillic inscription 'ЛУНОХОД-1' arcs along the upper legend within the silver ring, and 'LUNOKHOD-1' along the lower legend, with the commemorative dates '1970-2010' inscribed in the exergue below the rover. |
