This coin is from the 'Cities of Military Glory' series that started in 2011.
This issue is for Pskov, the administrative centre of Pskov Oblast. The city's coat of arms and
flag features what I believe is a leopard, with a hand coming down out of the clouds to maybe pet it. Which doesn't look like a good idea, because this leopard looks a little on the angry side.
Thanks to Maria for gifting me this coin!
