| Reverse description | The central silver-toned field features a detailed depiction of the packet boat "Sv. Pavel" (St. Paul) under full sail on stylised waves, rendered in fine relief. To the left of the vessel, a portrait bust of navigator Aleksei Ilyich Chirikov faces right, with his name and life dates inscribed below in Cyrillic. The surrounding brass ring carries the Cyrillic legend "ЗНАМЕНИТЫЕ КОРАБЛИ РОССИЙСКОГО ФЛОТА" (Famous Ships of the Russian Fleet) along the upper arc and "ПАКЕТБОТ "СВ. ПАВЕЛ"" along the lower arc. The composition commemorates Chirikov's historic 1741 voyage to Alaska aboard the St. Paul as part of the Second Kamchatka Expedition. |
