GAZ-12 ZIM is a limousine produced at the GAZ from 1950 till 1959. ZIM abbreviation stands for Zavod Imeni Molotova, which reflects the part of factorys official name at the time. Models produced after 1956 did not carry the ZIM abbreviation anymore. 4 and 5-door ambulance versions GAZ-12B were also produced from 1951 till 1960. A phaeton version existed, only 3 pieces were built between 1949 and 1951 for the government elite. Pre-production started in 1949, and it is believed that the first prototype was constructed in 1948. The GAZ-M20 Pobeda is a passenger car produced in the Soviet Union by GAZ from 1946 until 1958. It was also licensed to Polish Fabryka Samochodów Osobowych. The first Pobeda was developed in the Soviet Union under chief engineer Andrei A. Pobeda means victory and the choice of name was not accidental. The cars first tests were conducted at Gorky Avto Zavod (GAZ, Gorky Car Plant) in 1943, when victory in World War II began to seem likely. The plant was later heavily bombarded, but work was unaffected. The first prototype was ready on November 6, 1944, and after it gained approval the first production model rolled off the assembly line on June 21, 1946. The GAZ M21 Volga, the first car to carry the Volga name, was developed in the early 1950s from Ford Crestline. Volgas were built to last in the harsh climate and rough roads of the Soviet Union, with high ground clearance (what gives it a specific high look, contrary to low-long-sleek look of American cars of resembling design), rugged suspension, strong and forgiving engine, and rust proofing on a scale unheard of in the 1950s. It was largely based on the pre-war Opel Kadett. A test model Model 10 was first made, it was thought that Joseph Stalin disliked the headlight design, the fact that it only had two doors, and some other details so the car was redesigned. The reverse features each of the selected cars in full colour along with the Metal weight and Purity. The title Old Soviet Cars and the cars name are the featured text. The obverse of the coin features the Raphael Maklouf effigy of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.

Chess Chess is a two-player strategy board game played on a chessboard, a checkered gameboard with 64 squares arranged in an 8×8 grid. The game is played by millions of people worldwide. Chess is believed to have originated in India sometime before the 7th century. The game was derived from the Indian game chaturanga, which is also the likely ancestor of the Eastern strategy games xiangqi, janggi, and shogi. Chess reached Europe by the 9th century, due to the Umayyad conquest of Hispania. The pieces assumed their current powers in Spain in the late 15th century; the rules were standardized in the 19th century. Play does not involve hidden information. Each player begins with 16 pieces: one king, one queen, two rooks, two knights, two bishops, and eight pawns. Each of the six piece types moves differently, with the most powerful being the queen and the least powerful the pawn. The objective is to checkmate the opponent’s king by placing it under an inescapable threat of capture. To this end, a player’s pieces are used to attack and capture the opponent’s pieces, while supporting each other. During the game, play typically involves making exchanges of one piece for an opponent’s similar piece, but also finding and engineering opportunities to trade one piece for two, or to get a better position. In addition to checkmate, a player wins the game if the opponent resigns, or (in a timed game) runs out of time. There are also several ways that a game can end in a draw.
