Reverse description The reverse presents a highly detailed frosted depiction of the Church of the Transfiguration on Kizhi Island, a celebrated 18th-century masterpiece of Russian wooden architecture surmounted by twenty-two onion domes each topped with a cross, rendered in fine satin relief against a mirror-polished black field. The architectural composition is framed within a decorative cartouche with ornamental corner flourishes, evoking a traditional icon-board or lubok border design. The Cyrillic legend СИМВОЛЫ РОССИИ arcs across the upper field in raised lettering within the cartouche, while the place name КИЖИ appears in relief along the lower tablet of the frame. The intricate log construction of the church's walls and the graduated tiers of its domes are meticulously engraved, conveying the monument's UNESCO World Heritage status and architectural grandeur.
