Coins Featuring Yuri Gagarin

As many of you know, I am quite interested in space exploration. I know Russia/USSR has produced coins in the past that commemorate their heroes and I think there have been at least 2 produced that have an image of cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin. Does anyone know what coins they made featuring him?

Here are two: http://news.coinupdate.com/yuri-gagarin-featured-on-russian-gold-and-silver-coins-0772/

 

Here's a few affordable examples:





This one is a medal but it came with the 1991 3 ruble silver coin in a set







There's a few more easy to find coins out there too but I haven't really looked actively. I believe Kazakhstan has released a commemorative coin of him too as the launch pad is in Kazakhstan, not Russia.

 

There are a couple:

1 rouble Gagarin (1981) and Tereshkova (1984) Soviet coins:





And this one, 3 rouble 2011 (its not in the post above)



There are some more, without Gagarin's or other portraits, but space related. At least 2 Soviet and plenty of Russian.

 

here is a poster ???

 

Here is one from San Marino, issued last year, that shows Gagarin and Shepard. Hope the direct link works: http://adminaasfn.imcnetwork.net/Re...mage-de27e17c-0ada-4b35-bdb0-13e354c57114.jpg (And the other side: http://adminaasfn.imcnetwork.net/Re...mage-591eb037-7342-40ae-a2b8-7e3fc8f10739.jpg)
