| Reverse description | Full-color depiction of two animated characters from the Soviet Soyuzmultfilm cartoon 'The Little Lion and The Turtle': a smiling young lion cub with a vivid orange-red mane rests alongside a friendly turtle, both rendered in bright polychrome enamel against a stylized landscape. A large orange sun dominates the upper central field as a backdrop, while the surrounding uncolored silver field is engraved with decorative tropical foliage motifs. The Cyrillic legend 'ЛЬВЁНОК И ЧЕРЕПАХА' arcs prominently along the upper border, and the studio credit 'СОЮЗМУЛЬТФИЛЬМ®' appears in the lower left field in vertical orientation. |
