| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a richly detailed scene commemorating Captain James Cook's 1778 expedition to Russian America. In the upper field, two full-rigged sailing vessels are rendered in fine relief against a polished mirror background, with mountainous coastline suggested behind them. In the lower foreground, a group of six figures in 18th-century naval attire stand on a rocky shore, one kneeling in the act of planting a flag or marker. The curved legend '250 ЛЕТ ОТКРЫТИЯ РУССКОЙ АМЕРИКИ' arcs around the upper border, while 'ЭКСПЕДИЦИЯ Д.КУКА В РУССКУЮ АМЕРИКУ' curves along the lower border. The date '1778' appears in the left field, and a compass rose motif is positioned nearby as a secondary design element. |
