| Reverse description | The reverse presents a full-color enameled scene from the Soviet animated film 'The Bremen Town Musicians' (Бременские Музыканты), produced by Soyuzmultfilm studio. The Troubadour, depicted in a vivid red and pink bell-bottomed outfit with long blond hair, is shown dancing with the Princess, who wears a short orange dress and red boots, her blond hair adorned with a small crown. The pair are rendered in bright polychrome enamel at the center of the coin against a matte silver background featuring stylized stage curtains and a checkered floor. The Cyrillic title Бременские Музыканты arcs across the upper field in an ornate Gothic-style script, and the Soyuzmultfilm copyright logo appears to the lower left in the field. |
