The coin commemorates the 80th anniversary of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War, paying tribute to the extraordinary courage, sacrifice, and resilience of those who fought to defend their homeland during one of history’s most brutal conflicts.
The Great Patriotic War—the Eastern Front of World War II—was waged between the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany from 1941 to 1945. It began with Germany’s invasion of Soviet territory under Operation Barbarossa and evolved into a grueling and catastrophic war marked by immense human suffering. Soviet cities such as Leningrad, Stalingrad, and Moscow became epicenters of fierce resistance. The war resulted in the deaths of more than 20 million Soviet citizens, both soldiers and civilians, and left entire regions devastated.
Despite the staggering losses, the Soviet people turned the tide of the war, achieving critical victories at battles like Stalingrad and Kursk, eventually advancing into Berlin and securing Germany's surrender in May 1945. The 80th anniversary serves as a solemn reminder of the cost of peace and the heroism that defined the Soviet war effort, commemorated annually on May 9th, Victory Day.
