| Reverse description | The reverse displays a vivid yellow cloisonné enamel surface applied across the entire oval field, evoking the style of Imperial Russian Fabergé eggs. A lattice of raised gold-toned lines divides the yellow ground into a diamond trellis pattern, with ornate double-headed eagle medallions rendered in black and silver enamel set at each intersection. Sparkling crystal or paste stones are embedded at the center of each medallion, adding further decorative richness. The composition is framed by a raised gold-toned border following the oval contour of the coin. |
