Today, it is difficult to find a person who hasn’t ever heard the name of Yuri Gagarin and his famous flight. He is the first cosmonaut from the Earth, who, on April 12, 1961, made the world’s first space flight. On the board of Vostok 1 spacecraft, he launched from the Baikonur Cosmodrome at 06:07 UTC. Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin turned into an international icon, as his historic mission changed the lives of all people on our planet forever.
A very impressive coin, documenting one of the most daring acts in human history. It’s a piece of history and science minted in silver, which reminds you that dreams come true!
The combination of science, human will, and labour has made possible what previously seemed impossible. The first man in space, Yuri Alekseyevich Gagarin, launched into orbit on April 12, 1961, and flew one time around the Earth. The reverse of the coin portrays Yuri Gagarin back in 1961 after almost 2 hours’ flight. The obverse greatly depicts Vostok 1 – a spacecraft used in the mission.
Thanks to the digital printing technique, it was managed to create such a beautiful and detailed portrait of Yuri Gagarin.
