A Peace and Friendship Commemorative (commissioned by the Soviet Peace Committee, established in 1949 as the first government sanctioned non-profit charitable organization) has been minted by the Soviet Moscow Mint with approvals of Ministries of Defense of the USSR and Ministries of Health of the USSR. The coin has been struck from the actual skin of a Soviet R-12 (SS-4) nuclear missile; thus pioneering the use of dismantled nuclear weapon material for civil purposes. This truly is a swords to plowshares recorded artifact.
