Reverse description The reverse presents an allegorical high-relief composition celebrating the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics. At centre, a classically rendered female figure — evoking the spirit of sport and the personification of Matsesta — is depicted in flowing drapery with her head slightly raised and arm extended, rendered in a sculptural, neo-classical style. Surrounding her in the field are dynamic incuse vignettes of winter sports athletes in action, including a snowboarder, freestyle skier, biathlete, ski jumper, and cross-country skier, arranged in a sweeping arc. The inscription СОЧИ / 2014 appears in the lower central field in bold Cyrillic lettering, accompanied by the Olympic rings emblem directly below.
