The ribbon is surrounded by a wreath of laurel leaves, and the coin's denomination, "50 Roubles," is inscribed at the bottom. The reverse of the coin features a depiction of the Order of Victory, which was a military decoration established by the Soviet Union in 1943 to honor soldiers who had shown exceptional bravery and heroism during the war. The Order of Victory is surrounded by the words "Great Patriotic War" in Russian, and the dates "1941-1945" are inscribed at the bottom of the coin. It's interesting to note that the Victory in the Great Patriotic War coin was minted in 2005, more than 60 years after the end of World War II, as a way to commemorate and honor the sacrifices made by the Soviet people during the war. The coin's gold content and limited mintage make it a valuable collector's item for numismatists and history enthusiasts.
