| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a monumental sculptural group representing the Defenders of the Motherland, showing armoured medieval warriors in heroic poses upon a rocky pedestal, flanked by stylised trees in the lower field. In the background to the left rises a triumphal arch, while to the right a fortified ensemble with an obelisk and an equestrian monument is visible, evoking Moscow's historical landmarks. The curved legend '850-ЛЕТИЕ ОСНОВАНИЯ МОСКВЫ' (850th Anniversary of the Foundation of Moscow) arcs prominently across the upper field in bold Cyrillic lettering. The entire composition is executed in finely detailed relief with a proof finish, reflecting the commemorative significance of Moscow's 850th founding anniversary. |
