| Reverse description | Detailed high-relief depiction of the ancient Greek colonial ruins of Chersonesus Taurica (Херсонес Таврійський), located near modern Sevastopol, Ukraine. The central composition features standing Corinthian columns of varying heights alongside the remains of a massive stone-block wall with a doorway opening, rendered with fine archaeological accuracy. Scattered masonry debris occupies the lower foreground, evoking the site's antiquity. The Cyrillic legend ДВАНАДЦЯТЬ ЧУДЕС УКРАЇНИ (Twelve Wonders of Ukraine) arcs along the upper periphery, while ХЕРСОНЕС ТАВРІЙСЬКИЙ appears along the lower border. The date 2009 is inscribed in small characters at the lower left of the central design. |
