| Reverse description | The central field features a richly detailed allegorical composition commemorating the centenary of Tchaikovsky's death: the bearded portrait effigy of Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky occupies the upper right, while musical notes on a staff, theatrical masks, and a scene of ballet dancers with an orchestra conductor fill the remaining field. A lyre motif and laurel sprigs appear at the lower border flanking the date range '1893-1993'. The circumscribed legend 'PYOTR İLİÇ ÇAYKOVSKIY 100. ÖLÜM YILI' runs along the upper periphery in Latin script. |
