| Reverse description | The reverse celebrates the 250th anniversary of the Russian discovery of America, featuring a richly detailed composition across the field. To the left, a fortified Russian colonial settlement with a log church and stockade walls is depicted against a rocky coastal backdrop, representing Novo-Arkhangelsk (present-day Sitka, Alaska). To the right, a large fully-rigged sailing vessel dominates the scene, rendered in fine detail with billowing sails and pennants. In the upper left field, a portrait bust of Alexandr Baranov, the chief manager of Russian America, is shown facing slightly left, with his name 'Баранов' inscribed beneath in script lettering. A small rowing boat and a compass rose appear in the lower left field. The curved legend '250 ЛЕТ ОТКРЫТИЯ РУССКОЙ АМЕРИКИ' (250 Years of the Discovery of Russian America) arches along the upper border in ornate script, with 'Ново-Архангельск' (Novo-Arkhangelsk) inscribed at the bottom and the date '1799' to the lower right. |
