| Obverse description | The obverse depicts a stylized composition commemorating the Leningrad Blockade: in the lower field, a relief view of a neoclassical building flanked by ruined structures and pylons, symbolizing the besieged city. Above, radiating vertical rays fan outward from the center, overlaid with ascending rockets and bursting stars representing victory fireworks. Two torn banners in relief at left and right bear the inscriptions '900 ДНЕЙ' and '900 НОЧЕЙ', with the commemorative dates 1944 and 1984 prominently displayed in the lower field. |
