The lower field is filled with a detailed battle scene depicting soldiers, cannon, artillery wheels, drums, and military equipment evoking the Patriotic War of 1812. Cyrillic inscriptions curve along the left and right sides of the oval, identifying the subject and series, with the date '2010' appearing in the lower exergue. |

| Additional information |
Pyotr Bagration died at Borodino in September 1812, not on the field but three weeks later from a wound sustained during the battle's opening phase. Napoleon reportedly considered him one of the most dangerous Russian commanders he faced. The coin was issued as part of Cook Islands' broader output of commemorative silver crowns aimed squarely at the thematic collector market — a prolific program that generated dozens of historical portrait pieces around this period.
