| Reverse description | The fully colored reverse depicts a dramatic composite scene evoking the iconic angels of St. Petersburg. To the left, a gilded angel figure holding a large cross dominates the foreground, rendered in high relief with applied gold coloring; this figure references the famous angel atop the Alexander Column in Palace Square. In the central and lower field, a white relief rendition of the Peter and Paul Cathedral with its distinctive bell tower is depicted against a colored photographic panorama of the St. Petersburg cityscape, including the Neva River, the Rostral Columns, and the dome of St. Isaac's Cathedral visible on the horizon. At the upper border, a decorative cartouche features a cherub face with spread wings in white relief, flanked by ornamental scrollwork. The inscription 'ANGELS OF ST PETERSBURG' is prominently displayed in the upper field. |
