| Reverse description | A decorative Christmas wreath rendered in relief dominates the central field, composed of holly branches with berries and broad leaves arranged in a circular motif, surmounted by an ornate ribbon bow at the top. The design is executed in two tonal relief levels, giving the wreath a layered, sculptural quality against the polished field. The legend 'CHRISTMAS WREATH' arcs along the upper periphery in Latin script. The outer border carries multilingual translations of the wreath's name: 'JÕULUPÄRG' (Estonian), 'ADVENTES VAINAGS' (Latvian), and 'KALĖDŲ VAINIKAS' (Lithuanian), separated by raised dots. |
