| Reverse description | A highly detailed, high-relief depiction of the Rusalka, a water spirit from Slavic mythology, dominates the reverse. The creature is shown emerging from a dark, rippling water surface, her upper body rendered as a woman with flowing hair entwined with a serpentine dragon, both elements highlighted in selective gold gilding, while her scaled fish tail curves dramatically across the upper right field. A blooming white water lily surrounded by lily pads occupies the lower center of the field, rendered in brilliant polished silver relief against the darkened ruthenium-finished background. Frogs and aquatic flora populate the detailed lower field, contributing to the atmospheric, fantastical composition. The legend RUSALKA and the series title SLAVIC BESTIARY are inscribed in the lower central field. |
