| Reverse description | The reverse presents a finely detailed left-facing bust portrait of the Russian historian and writer Nikolai Mikhailovich Karamzin (1766–1826), depicted in early 19th-century civilian dress with a decorative order cross at his lapel. To the right of the portrait, a stack of volumes of his monumental work «История государства Российского» (History of the Russian State) is depicted in relief, the frontmost volume open and bearing the Imperial double-headed eagle emblem on its cover. The legend Н.М. КАРАМЗИН arcs along the upper portion of the field, with the birth and death years 1766 and 1826 inscribed below in two lines, all set against a frosted relief on a deeply mirrored proof background. |
