Comment

Date of issue: 14 FEB 1995

The year 1945 was the last year of the hard-fought battles against the Fascist Germany. Pushing to Berlin, the Soviet Army liberated Warsaw, Budapest, Koenigsberg, Vienna and Prague. The war in Europe ended on May 8 when representatives of the Allied Supreme Commands signed the instrument of unconditional capitulation of Fascism Germany. On August 9 the Soviet Union entered into the war against Japan, concentrating its war effort on the regions of the Far East where the principal Japanese ground forces, the Kwangtung army, were deployed. Its defeat forced Japan to surrender unconditionally. The instrument of capitulation was signed by representatives of the Soviet Union, the United States, Great Britain and Japan aboard the US battleship "Missouri" on September 2, 1945.

Interesting fact

The 3 Roubles (Budapest) 1995 coin from Russia features a unique design that commemorates the 100th anniversary of the birth of Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin, who became the first human to journey into outer space in 1961. The coin's obverse side features a portrait of Gagarin, while the reverse side depicts a spacecraft and the words "100 Years of Cosmonautics" in Russian. This coin is a rare and interesting collectible for anyone interested in space exploration or Soviet-era numismatics.
