| Reverse description | The reverse presents a finely detailed relief view of the Kazan Virgin Mary Monastery (Казанский Богородицкий монастырь) in Kazan, Russia, depicting its principal architectural ensemble including the bell tower, cathedral with dome, and ancillary monastic buildings set against a stylized landscape with trees and clouds. At the center-upper field, a full-color inset reproduces the celebrated icon of Our Lady of Kazan (Казанская икона Божией Матери), richly ornamented with a jeweled riza rendered in gold and polychrome enamel tones, depicting the Virgin Mary with the Christ Child. The monastery's name КАЗАНСКИЙ БОГОРОДИЦКИЙ МОНАСТЫРЬ is inscribed in a decorative cartouche in the lower field in Cyrillic script. The coin is struck in proof quality, with frosted relief elements contrasting against the polished mirror field. |
