| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a dynamic battle scene featuring a group of mounted Cossack warriors in vigorous action, rendered in high relief against a polished proof field. A prominent central rider charges forward bearing a lance, while additional horsemen are shown in combat around him, conveying the energy and martial spirit of the mid-17th century liberation war. The composition is boldly sculptural, with the figures overlapping in a manner recalling Baroque historical relief work. The curved Cyrillic legend ВИЗВОЛЬНА ВІЙНА СЕРЕДИНИ ХVІІ СТ. encircles the upper and lower portions of the design, separated by a beaded arc. The scene commemorates the Cossack uprising led by Bohdan Khmelnytsky against Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth rule. |
