| Reverse description | The reverse depicts the Alkonost, a creature from Slavic mythology portrayed as a beautiful woman with large, elaborately colored wings spread across the field. The figure wears an ornate jeweled kokoshnik headdress set with an amber-toned gemstone, and is adorned with richly gilded necklaces and embroidered robes; she holds a strand of pearls in her hands. Vivid selective coloring in warm amber, red, and gold tones highlights the feathers, jewelry, and floral elements, contrasted against an antique-finished silver background. A sun-and-moon celestial motif appears in the upper left field, while apple-tree branches with fruit, additional foliage, and a Flower of Life symbol occupy the lower left. The inscriptions ALKONOST and SLAVIC BESTIARY appear in gilded lettering in the lower left field. |
