Interesting fact
The Belka and Strelka coin is a non-circulating coin issued in 2020 by Transnistria, a breakaway region in Moldova. The coin is made of nickel-plated steel and weighs 4.65 grams. What's interesting about this coin is that it features two dogs, Belka and Strelka, who were sent to space by the Soviet Union in 1960. The coin commemorates the 60th anniversary of their space mission, which made them the first animals to orbit the Earth and return safely. The coin's design includes an image of the two dogs in space, along with the inscription "Belka and Strelka - The First Dogs in Space" in Russian. This coin is a unique and interesting collectible for anyone interested in space exploration or numismatics.
