Reverse description The reverse presents a poignant commemorative composition depicting the Bessarabian famine of 1946–1947. In the central field, two heavily laden grain trucks are shown departing across a parched, cracked earth landscape, symbolising the forced requisition of grain from the starving population. To the left, a dense crowd of stylised human silhouettes stands witness, rendered in low relief against a receding background. The curved legend FOAMETEA DIN BASARABIA arcs prominently along the lower portion of the field, while the dedication IN MEMORIAM: and the date range 1946–1947 are inscribed in the upper field above the central scene.
