| Reverse description | The reverse presents a dramatic scene from the Third Act of Tchaikovsky's ballet Swan Lake, depicting the climactic single combat between the sorcerer Rothbart and Prince Siegfried, rendered in fine engraving with rich artistic detail. The figures are shown in dynamic poses that convey the tension and movement of the theatrical confrontation. A circular inscription along the rim reads «ЛЕБЕДИНОЕ ОЗЕРО» (THE SWAN LAKE), identifying the ballet celebrated on this commemorative issue. The composition is framed within a carefully polished Proof field that enhances the contrast between the frosted relief of the figures and the mirror-like background. |
