| Reverse description | A richly detailed allegorical composition commemorating Alexander Sergeyevich Pushkin dominates the reverse. In the foreground at centre, a full-length figure of Pushkin is shown strolling, walking stick in hand, with the stylized ghostly contour of Onegin depicted behind him. In the lower left portion of the field, a double portrait in an oval medallion, a pair of duelling pistols, and a letter allude to Pushkin's fatal duel, while below these elements a country estate and a troika of rearing horses harnessed to a carriage are rendered in fine detail. To the upper right, the skyline silhouette of St. Petersburg is evoked, accompanied by a seated female figure before whom a man kneels, and in the lower right a candlestick with flame, an inkwell with a goose quill, and a sealed envelope symbolise the poet's literary life. Along the lower rim, the inscription «АЛЕКСАНДР ПУШКИН» (ALEXANDER PUSHKIN) appears together with the birth and death years «1799» and «1837» in two lines. |
