| Reverse description | A detailed depiction of an 18th-century Russian sailing vessel under full sail occupies the central field, rendered in fine relief against a mirror-polished background. Behind the ship, a panoramic view of a coastal settlement with wooden structures and rocky cliffs evokes the harbour of Three Saints Bay in Alaska. Along the upper border, the curved Cyrillic legend '250 ЛЕТ ОТКРЫТИЯ РУССКОЙ АМЕРИКИ' (250th Anniversary of the Discovery of Russian America) is inscribed in a combination of printed and stylised script lettering. Along the lower border, the inscription 'Гавань трёхсвятителей 1784' (Harbour of Three Saints 1784) is rendered in a cursive Cyrillic script, with a decorative compass rose motif to the right. |
