| Reverse description | Central colorized depiction of a traditional Orthodox Easter basket containing decorated pysanky eggs in vivid polychrome hues, a kulich Easter bread topped with white icing and sprinkles, and willow branches, all set within a woven wicker basket adorned with a blue ribbon and lace bow. Above the basket, the outline of an Orthodox church dome with three crosses is rendered in relief. Flanking the central motif are the stylized Cyrillic initials X and B (abbreviating Христос Воскресе), surrounded by milled floral and foliate ornaments. The Cyrillic legend ХРИСТОС ВОСКРЕС! (Christ is Risen!) arcs along the upper periphery in an archaic ecclesiastical script, while the inscriptions Ag999, 2010, and 31,1gr appear along the lower field. |
