| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a detailed high-relief rendering of the famous monument to Kuzma Minin and Dmitry Pozharsky, the celebrated bronze sculpture by Ivan Martos originally erected in Moscow's Red Square in 1818. Minin stands to the left, his right arm raised and outstretched in exhortation, while Pozharsky is seated to the right holding a shield, both figures upon their inscribed pedestal. Behind and around the monument, an panoramic skyline of Moscow's most iconic architectural landmarks is rendered in lower relief, including the distinctive onion domes of Saint Basil's Cathedral at centre and the towers of the Kremlin to the right. The curved legend 850-ЛЕТИЕ ОСНОВАНИЯ МОСКВЫ arcs boldly across the upper field in a stylised Old Slavonic-inspired Cyrillic script, commemorating the 850th anniversary of the founding of Moscow. |
