| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in dark blue on a plain cream ground and is dominated by a large central oval guilloche medallion enclosing the bold numeral "1" in gothic script. The medallion is encircled by a ring of fine engine-turned lathe-work bearing the repeated inscription ЧЕРВОНЕЦ, and flanked symmetrically on each side by the word ЧЕРВОНЕЦ within further guilloche panels. The overall design is purely typographic and geometric, with no pictorial vignette. |
