| Reverse description | The reverse presents a dynamic allegorical composition contrasting historical and modern ore mining. At the left, a muscular bare-chested miner kneeling on one knee swings a pickaxe overhead with great force, rendered in bold high relief to evoke early Russian mining labour. To the upper right, a schematic depiction of a traditional mine headframe set against stylised mountain peaks represents historic extraction methods, while in the lower right a large modern open-cast mining excavator is shown in detailed relief, symbolising contemporary industry. To the left of the central figure, stylised ancient Cyrillic or runic-style characters allude to the historical origins of Russian ore mining administration. The curved legend РОССИЯ НА РУБЕЖЕ ТЫСЯЧЕЛЕТИЙ (Russia on the Threshold of the Millennia) runs along the lower border within a beaded inner circle. |
