Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a portrait of Boris Pasternak, a Russian poet and novelist, on the obverse side, while the reverse side depicts a scene from his famous novel, "Doctor Zhivago." This coin was issued to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the publication of the novel, which was first published in Italy in 1957.
