A friend found this but I can seem to really nail down what it is.
He's got Boobydoo on the brain, so he ended up finding it in the wood chips.

I can make out 1961 and CCP on the Helmut.

It appears to depict USSR (CCCP) cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin, who first orbited the earth in 1961.
Could it be this commemorative 10 rubles piece? Looks like it to me!

Here is an Ironic thing, Robert's coin was found in park known as rocket park
very near, if not under the rocket itself.

*some kid is really gona mis that coin*

"John Ward Park, built atop a decommissioned landfill, is more commonly known as ‘Rocket Park’ due to the large rocket shaped playground structure. The original rocket was installed in the late 1960’s. Since then, two additional playground structures have conserved the original rocket theme of the park."
