| Reverse description | A finely modelled portrait bust of Russian composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky facing slightly left dominates the central field, rendered with considerable sculptural relief against a mirror-polished background. The composer is depicted with his characteristic full beard and swept-back hair. His birth year '1840' appears to the upper left and his death year '1893' to the upper right of the portrait. The issue year '2005' is inscribed in the lower left field. Beneath the portrait, the name 'Tschaikowskij' is rendered in italic Latin script, and a decorative musical staff with notes in 6/8 time occupies the exergue. |
