Reverse description	The reverse presents a detailed zodiac composition centered on the Capricorn sign. A prominent relief figure of a sea-goat leaping rightward occupies the right-center field against a stylized foliate background. The Capricorn constellation is rendered as a chain of raised stars across the upper left field, set against a dark polished background evoking the night sky. The astrological symbol for Capricorn (♑) and the date range 22/12–20/01 are inscribed in the field. The Cyrillic legend КОЗЕРОГ (Capricorn) appears in the lower left. The border ring features all twelve zodiac symbols in individual cartouches, alternating between polished and frosted finishes.
