| Reverse description | The reverse presents a finely detailed, high-relief rendering of the Soviet Vostok 1 spacecraft in orbit, depicted centrally across the bimetallic field with the tantalum centre forming the dark space background and the silver ring providing the lighter cosmic surround. The spacecraft is shown with its characteristic spherical re-entry module and cylindrical instrument module, complete with antenna arrays, in meticulous technical detail. A partially gilt orb in the upper field represents the Moon or Sun, its textured gilt surface providing a vivid chromatic contrast against the silver and tantalum tones. The date '1961' — commemorating Yuri Gagarin's historic flight — is inscribed in the lower exergue of the inner field. The peripheral legend reads '«ҒАРЫШ КЕМЕСІ»' and '«ВОСТОК»' in Cyrillic along the left arc, and 'SPACESHIP «VOSTOK»' in Latin along the right arc, with '• 2008 •' at the base of the silver ring. |
