| Reverse description | The reverse presents a dynamic scene from Tchaikovsky's ballet 'The Nutcracker', depicting two principal dancers — a male dancer and a ballerina in a tutu — joined in a partnered arabesque at the centre of the field, their raised hands clasped in mid-performance. Secondary figures holding stylised musical instruments and props flank the central pair in the background. Decorative snowflake motifs are scattered across the lower field, and a festive garland with ornaments arcs along the upper border, partially forming the Cyrillic legend 'ЩЕЛКУНЧИК'. The inscription 'ЩЕЛКУНЧИК' (The Nutcracker) is artistically integrated into the upper design as stylised lettering, with additional letters distributed around the rim of the field. |
