Own a unique cultural artifact from the mid-1980s Soviet Union with this genuine 1985 USSR commemorative 1 Ruble coin.

As shown in the high-resolution images, this highly collectible coin was minted to mark the 12th World Festival of Youth and Students held in Moscow in 1985—a massive international event promoting global solidarity during the Cold War era.

The obverse side, featured in image, displays the classic State Emblem of the USSR above the denomination "1 РУБЛЬ", split by the Cyrillic "СС РР" initials, with the mint year "1985" cleanly positioned at the bottom. The reverse side, shown in image, features the festival's official emblem: a stylized five-petaled festival flower holding a peace dove inside a globe grid. Surrounding the flower is the historic Russian motto inscription: "ЗА АНТИИМПЕРИАЛИСТИЧЕСКУЮ СОЛИДАРНОСТЬ, МИР И ДРУЖБУ" (For Anti-Imperialist Solidarity, Peace, and Friendship) along with the event marker "XII • МОСКВА • 1985".

This copper-nickel piece is an excellent addition for collectors of modern world coins, political memorabilia, or cultural history from the late Soviet period.

2. Recommended Accessories (Not Included)

To handle and preserve this raw coin safely without damaging its surface quality, collectors typically utilize:

• 2x2 Archival Flips or Airtight Capsules: Placing the coin in a PVC-free, archival-safe plastic capsule seals out moisture, protecting the copper-nickel composition from environmental tarnish.

• Cotton Numismatic Gloves: To ensure that oils from your fingertips do not leave permanent smudges or react with the alloy, always use soft, lint-free white cotton gloves when handling the raw coin.

• 3D Floating Frame or Display Easel: A double-sided clear silicone membrane frame suspends the coin in mid-air, allowing you to prominently view both the intricate festival flower and the state emblem simultaneously.

• Coin Collector's Loupe (5x–10x): Ideal for observing the fine lines of the peace dove, the Cyrillic text, and the distinct edge lettering details.
