Comment
I think it's the hammer throw rather than the pudding throw.
Interesting fact
The 1979 Soviet Union 5 Rouble Hammer Throwing coin features an image of a hammer thrower on the obverse (front side), which was designed by prominent Soviet artist and sculptor, Ernst Neizvestny. Neizvestny was known for his works that combined elements of realism and abstraction, and his design for this coin is a great example of that style. The coin's reverse (back side) features the Soviet Union's national emblem, which includes a hammer and sickle.
