| Reverse description | Two draped busts of ancient Eastern Iranian (Aryan) figures are depicted in profile facing left, rendered in a style reminiscent of Sogdian wall paintings, with elaborate traditional garments and jewelry rendered in frosted relief. The Cyrillic legend 'СОЛИ ТАМАДДУНИ ОРИЁӢ' (Year of Aryan Civilization) arcs along the upper periphery, and the inner legend 'ДЕВОРНИГОРАИ ТОҶИКОНИ БОСТОН' (Wall Paintings of the Ancient Tajiks) is inscribed across the upper field. The date '2006' appears in the exergue. The proof surfaces present a lustrous mirrored field in strong contrast to the frosted figural relief. |
