| Reverse description | Central device depicts St. George as an armored horseman on a rearing horse, facing left, thrusting a spear downward toward a serpent or dragon beneath the horse's hooves, a motif emblematic of the Russian state since medieval times. The denomination legend arcs along the upper portion of the rim in Cyrillic script. The design is rendered in relatively high relief typical of Elizabeth-era copper coinage, with the horseman occupying the full field. The overall style reflects the transitional baroque aesthetics of mid-18th century Imperial Russian minting. |
