USSR Token Ruble-Dollar 1988 MS68 Coin of Disarmament

Description

The coin was issued with the participation of the Soviet Peace Protection Committee.
IT WAS MADE IN 1988 FROM THE METAL OF SOVIET R-12 MEDIUM-RANGE MISSILES DESTROYED ACCORDING TO THE SOVIET-AMERICAN INF TREATY.
THE VERY FIRST COIN ISSUED WAS PRESENTED TO THE AMERICAN PRESIDENT AS A SIGN OF RECONCILIATION AND THE END OF THE COLD WAR.
THE ISSUE OF THIS COIN MARKED THE END OF THE COLD WAR BETWEEN THE USSR AND THE UNITED STATES.
A metal circle with a diameter of 40 mm. On one side of the coin there is a "disarmament ruble", "dollar disarm", a small olive branch. The circle is stamped in Russian and English: "Accepted as a sign of friendship. Made of rocket metal." On the other side there is a bell, the symbol of the SKZM and an inscription also in two languages: "Soviet Committee for the Protection of Peace".
This is a unique souvenir, a symbol of conversion. The proceeds from the implementation of the "disarmament coin" were used in various countries of the world to solve environmental problems, for the needs of children affected by the Chernobyl disaster. Hiroshima and Nagasaki received a certain share of the sale of coins.
The metal from which the coin is made is an alloy of aluminum with titanium-the metal from which the skin of the SS-4 rocket was made.
The metal does not pose a health hazard.
The first coins were presented to Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev as the authors of the treaty, President J. George W. Bush, the mayors of the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, victims of the atomic bombing, former US Presidents D. Ford and J. Carter, British Prime Minister M. Thatcher and others.
