| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a dual composition: a detailed architectural rendering of the Assumption Cathedral of the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra as it stood prior to its destruction in 1941, juxtaposed with its ruins as they appeared afterwards. The cathedral is rendered in fine relief, conveying the monumentality of the 11th-century Baroque-influenced structure.
