Interesting fact

The Kerch-Eltigen Landing Operation coin commemorates the 70th anniversary of the landing operation conducted by the Soviet Union during World War II, which took place in November 1943. The operation was a major milestone in the liberation of Crimea from German occupation, and it involved a large-scale amphibious landing of Soviet troops on the Kerch Peninsula. The coin's design features an image of a Soviet soldier landing on the beach, with the Kerch Strait and the Crimean Mountains in the background. The coin's obverse side features the coat of arms of the Russian Federation and the denomination of 5 roubles.
