| Reverse description | Against a mirror-polished field, a detailed relief depiction of a five-domed Orthodox cathedral occupies the centre of the composition. To the left, a fragment of the monastery's defensive wall is rendered in fine relief, while stylised trees divide the encircling inscriptions. The upper rim bears the legend ХРАМ ИКОНЫ БОЖИЕЙ МАТЕРИ «ВСЕХ СКОРБЯЩИХ РАДОСТЬ» (THE TEMPLE OF THE VIRGIN'S ICON 'JOY TO ALL THE LAMENTING'), and the lower rim carries the inscription СВЯТО-УСПЕНСКИЙ ДАЛМАТОВСКИЙ МОНАСТЫРЬ (DALMAT SAINT ASSUMPTION MONASTERY). Immediately beneath the cathedral, a two-line inscription in the field reads КУРГАНСКАЯ ОБЛАСТЬ (KURGAN REGION). |

| Additional information |
The Church of the Joy of All Who Sorrow on Bolshaya Ordynka in Moscow, to which this coin is dedicated, has a complicated ownership history — seized by Soviet authorities in 1919, briefly converted to other uses, and only returned to the Russian Orthodox Church in 1990 after decades of closure. The icon venerated there is associated with a reported miracle in 1688 involving the sister of Patriarch Joachim, a detail that cemented its status among the most revered Marian images in the Moscow patriarchate.
