| Reverse description | The reverse features a colorfully printed representation of a traditional Russian Zhostovo decorative lacquer tray, depicted with a black ground adorned with a vibrant wreath of roses, daisies, and foliage rendered in full polychrome color, positioned to the left of center. To the right, large relief-sculpted floral motifs — roses, buds, and scrolling leaves — are partially enhanced with selective color printing, evoking the Zhostovo folk painting tradition. The Cyrillic legend ЖОСТОВО arcs along the upper rim, while the date 2012, fineness Ag 925, and weight 25g are inscribed along the lower field. |
