Interesting fact
The Battle of Kursk coin was issued to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the Battle of Kursk, a major tank battle fought during World War II in July and August 1943. The battle was a significant turning point in the war, as it thwarted the German Army's last major offensive on the Eastern Front and paved the way for the Soviet Union's ultimate victory. The coin's design features an image of a T-34 tank, which was a key weapon used by the Soviet Union during the battle.
