| Obverse description | The obverse depicts the Alyosha monument — a full-length figure of a Soviet soldier in greatcoat standing atop a tiered rocky plinth at left, overlooking a stylised seascape with a ship in the middle ground and a flying seagull in the lower field. Two sweeping bands of stylised aurora borealis rays fill the upper right portion of the field, rendered in high relief against a finely textured background. |
