| Reverse description | The reverse displays a large numeral '1' in the center incorporating a depiction of the famous Duke de Richelieu statue of Odessa set on a pedestal within the numeral's form. Two anchors flank the central device, and a bold Cyrillic inscription in banner-style lettering appears in the lower field. The overall design evokes a playful parody of a gold ducat coin. |
