Reverse description The reverse presents a richly detailed scene of a traditional Ukrainian Christmas procession rendered in high-relief against a mirror-proof field. A group of carolers (koliadnyky) in traditional folk dress process across the field, accompanied by an angel with spread wings at left, a child, and a figure bearing a decorated pole topped with bells. To the right, a bearded elder and a musician playing a bandura join the procession, with a goat — a traditional symbol of Ukrainian Christmas customs — visible among the group. At the top of the composition, the Star of Bethlehem shines above the scene, its central roundel featuring an image of the Virgin and Child. A decorative sled appears in the lower foreground. The curved Cyrillic legend 'СВЯТО РІЗДВА ХРИСТОВОГО' (Feast of the Nativity of Christ) arcs around the left and right periphery of the field.
