    Where to begin...?
    I have tried to find a Krause number, without success.
    I assume the mint date is 1955, which commemorates a 10 year anniversary (or duration) of armed struggle, or resistance (to Soviet post-war presence?).
    What might the 9.V. signify? And what unit of currency does the 50 refer to?
    Is the Fighter a real person, or a symbolic figure?
    At the right toe of the fighter is: A. SOPR (engraver? artist?); the edge is finely reeded.
    Very near that toe is a lone flowering plant. What, if anything, does it mean?
    Looks like a silver alloy; Diameter is ~36.6mm; weight ~20 grams.
    The coin is in MSxx condition...but I'd like to know more before considering certification.

    Thanks, all! wlw

    Yes 9 V is 9 May. V is the roman numeral for 5.
