| Reverse description | The reverse presents a circular grotesque composition illustrating scenes from Gogol's story 'Christmas Eve', with narrative figures arranged around the field in a decorative frieze. At the center, a large Christmas Star radiates outward, with a candle positioned at its heart; the flame of the candle is represented by an inlaid yellow sapphire gemstone, lending a striking polychrome accent to the design. Beneath the Star, a semicircular Cyrillic inscription НІЧ ПЕРЕД РІЗДВОМ (Night Before Christmas) identifies the literary source. The overall composition is executed in a fantastical, folk-art-inspired grotesque style consistent with the literary themes of the series. |
