| Reverse description | The reverse presents a detailed architectural view of the Kyiv City Council building, the venue of the first Contract Fair, derived from M. Razhen's 1775–1786 drawing 'The Facade of the Old Kyiv Fortress.' The foreground depicts the Podil embankment as seen from the Dnipro River side, with a moored two-masted sailing ship at dock. A pair of scales appears in the upper left field, symbolizing trade and commerce. The circular legend КИЇВСЬКИЙ КОНТРАКТОВИЙ ЯРМАРОК (Kyiv Contract Fair) arcs above, with 200 РОКІВ (200 Years) inscribed along the lower periphery. |
