Reverse description The central field displays a square-framed reproduction of the face of the Archangel from a medieval Russian icon, rendered in high relief with finely engraved curling hair and stylised Byzantine facial features characteristic of early Russian iconographic art. Below the central image, a large numeral '100' incorporates an architectural vignette of the Mikhailovsky Palace — the main building of the Russian Museum in Saint Petersburg — integrated within the digits. The Cyrillic inscription РУССКИЙ МУЗЕЙ arcs around the left and right periphery of the field, with ЛЕТ (Years) inscribed beneath the central composition. The proof finish contrasts the deeply recessed mirror fields against the raised pictorial elements.
