| Reverse description | The reverse presents a richly detailed relief composition evoking the Russian exploration and settlement of Siberia during the 16th and 17th centuries, rendered in a style inspired by period cartographic imagery. The upper field bears the curved Cyrillic inscription ОСВОЕНИЕ СИБИРИ XVI·XVII (The Development of Siberia). Across the field, multiple vignettes depict riders on horseback and on reindeer-drawn sledges traversing a vast landscape interspersed with stylised conifer forests, winding rivers, and indigenous Siberian fauna including a squirrel perched in a tree at right. The composition's flat, map-like aesthetic directly references the decorative pictorial tradition of early Russian cartography, lending the design a strong historical and artistic character. |
