| Reverse description | Central design depicts a seated figure of Aeneas rendered in high relief, cross-legged atop a classical Ionic column base, playing a bandura (Ukrainian folk stringed instrument), symbolising the Ukrainian literary adaptation of the Virgilian epic by Ivan Kotliarevsky. To the left stands a male figure in traditional Cossack attire, and to the right a female figure in Ukrainian folk dress, both flanking the central scene. A sailing vessel in the background left alludes to the epic voyage narrative, while a windmill appears to the right. The title «ЕНЕЇДА» arcs along the upper rim in Cyrillic, and the inscriptions І. КОТЛЯРЕВСЬКОГО / 200 / РОКІВ appear in the lower field, commemorating the 200th anniversary of the poem's publication. |
