| Reverse description | Three historical Russian silver wire coins (chekany) of the 16th century are depicted in relief at the centre of the field, each showing characteristic irregular planchet shapes. The largest coin, positioned at the top, bears the image of a mounted horseman with a spear; the lower-left coin depicts a bird, and the lower-right coin shows another equestrian figure. A curved Cyrillic legend reading '500-ЛЕТИЕ ЕДИНОГО РУССКОГО ГОСУДАРСТВА' (500th Anniversary of the United Russian State) arcs along the upper rim, while 'ПЕРВЫЕ ОБЩЕРУССКИЕ МОНЕТЫ' (First All-Russian Coinage) appears along the lower rim. The inscription 'XVI в.' (16th century) is placed in the lower centre field between the coins and the bottom legend. |
