Description
B228.Russian 45th Anniversary of the Baikonur Cosmodrome, but focusing specifically on the N1 lunar rocket.
Struck in 2000 to mark 45 years since the founding of the Baikonur Cosmodrome in 1955. This variant highlights
the early heroic/moon-race era of Soviet rocketry, featuring the distinctive conical lattice-truss staging and
clustered booster profile characteristic of Korolev’s N1 super-heavy launch vehicle
(the Soviet crewed lunar landing program rocket).
