| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a stylized scene referencing Zatrikion, the Byzantine predecessor of chess, featuring a left-facing crowned female bust in the left foreground alongside a large chess king piece and a smaller pawn piece rendered in high relief. The large capital letter K dominates the right field, accompanied by the denomination inscription 1/2 follis below it. The legend ZATRIKION arcs along the upper right of the field, and the engraver's monogram ВБ (Vitaly Bakhtinov) appears in the lower right field. A chessboard pattern is suggested in the background, evoking the medieval Byzantine game. |
