| Reverse description | A bold left-facing uniformed bust of Josef Vissarionovich Stalin occupying the majority of the field, rendered in a realistic and authoritative portrait style typical of Socialist-era medallic art. Stalin is depicted in military tunic with collar insignia visible at the truncation. The legend 'J·V·STALIN' arcs along the upper left periphery, while the commemorative date '21·XII·1949' — marking his 70th birthday — curves along the upper right, flanking the portrait. The field is otherwise plain, directing full attention to the monumental effigy. |
