| Obverse description | Central field depicts a gilt relief effigy of a Kulindadromeus, a feathered ornithischian dinosaur, shown in profile facing left, standing amid prehistoric ferns and Archaeopteris-type trees rendered in fine detail. The dinosaur figure occupies the brass centre of the bimetallic flan, with the surrounding nickel silver ring bearing the Cyrillic legend КУЛИНДАДРОМЕУС along the upper arc and the Latin transliteration • Kulindadromeus • along the lower arc. The engraver's initials МВ (MasterVision) appear in the lower right field of the central disc. |

MasterVision is a private fantasy issuer with no sovereign mandate, monetary authority, or recognized status under any numismatic or legal framework. "Chervontsev" gestures at the Soviet chervonets, a gold-backed currency introduced in 1922 to stabilize the post-civil-war economy, but the connection is decorative at best. Kulindadromeus zabaikalicus, the dinosaur presumably featured, was described from Jurassic deposits in Siberia in 2014 and generated genuine paleontological interest for its evidence of feather-like integument in an ornithischian.
This is a privately minted novelty round, not a coin.
