| Reverse description | Two male figures, depicted in left-facing profile bust, are shown side by side in the central field, representing a worker and a peasant. Behind them, stylized industrial factory structures appear to the right and a spray of wheat ears to the left, symbolizing the union of industry and agriculture. The date '1925' is prominently displayed in large numerals in the lower portion of the field, followed by the Cyrillic abbreviation 'г.' (for 'год', meaning 'year'). The composition is rendered in a classical Socialist Realist relief style with a polished proof-like background. |

| Additional information |
The original 1925 chervonets was never officially released for circulation — the Soviet state minted the issue primarily for foreign trade settlements, as the gold-backed chervonets was one of the few Soviet instruments trusted on international markets during the NEP period. The 2024 brass restrike from the Moscow Mint reproduces that date, making attribution critical: genuine 1925 originals are gold, and any example in brass is by definition a modern commemorative reproduction.
