| Reverse description | Two overlapping ancient Russian silver coins (srebreniki) of Prince Vladimir I are depicted in high relief at the centre of the field, their intricate early medieval designs—including a trident tamga and a seated princely figure—rendered in fine detail. The curved legend '1000-ЛЕТИЕ ДРЕВНЕРУССКОЙ МОНЕТНОЙ ЧЕКАНКИ' (1000th Anniversary of Ancient Russian Coin Minting) arcs around the upper and lateral perimeter of the coin. The date '988 г.' (988 AD) appears to the lower right of the central design, while the inscription 'СРЕБРЕНИК ВЛАДИМИРА' (Vladimir's Srebrenik) is placed in the lower field. The composition commemorates the millennium of coinage in Kievan Rus, initiated under the reign of Vladimir the Great. |
