| Reverse description | The reverse presents a richly detailed and highly artistic composition inspired by Russian fairy tales, arranged in a medallion-within-medallion format. A central circular cartouche, bordered by an ornate floral and geometric band, depicts a leaping horse amid dense foliage, evoking the legendary Firebird or enchanted steed of Slavic folklore. Surrounding this central medallion, the broader field is populated with multiple scenes from classic Russian fairy tales, including a figure riding through a night sky with a crescent moon and stars, a witch-like character with a broom, a troika carriage, a crowned figure, a cottage on stilts, and various mythological creatures and heroes. The composition fills the entire reverse field with no inscriptions, relying entirely on its elaborate pictorial narrative rendered in high-relief proof finish. |
