Beschrijving voorzijde The obverse features a highly detailed, gilt relief depiction of a standing Megaloceros giganteus (Irish Elk) in left profile, its massive palmate antlers extending prominently across the upper field. The animal is rendered in a naturalistic style against a polished black background, flanked by stylised conifer trees. The Cyrillic legend БОЛЬШЕРОГИЙ ОЛЕНЬ arcs along the upper border, while the Latin binomial Megaloceros giganteus curves along the lower border. The engraver's initials МВ appear in the lower right portion of the central field.

Aanvullende informatie

MasterVision is a private Ukrainian producer operating outside any national mint authority, issuing fantasy pieces with no legal tender status in any jurisdiction. The "chervonets" denomination is borrowed from a historical Russian and Soviet gold monetary unit — the Soviet chervonets was introduced in 1922 as part of Lenin's New Economic Policy and was backed by gold at 7.74 grams fine. Attaching that name to a bimetallic fantasy token is a deliberate aesthetic choice with no monetary or historical continuity behind it.

The giant deer — Megaloceros giganteus — disappeared roughly 7,700 years ago, with Irish bog specimens providing the most complete skeletal record known to science.
