| Reverse description | A full-color reproduction of a detail from Viktor Mikhailovich Vasnetsov's monumental painting 'God the Father,' executed between 1885 and 1896, dominates the reverse field. The image depicts a majestic frontal representation of God the Father rendered in a Byzantine-influenced academic style, with flowing robes and an authoritative, serene countenance. Christian iconographic symbols are positioned to the left of the central figure, complementing the religious narrative of the composition. The colored artwork is applied directly to the struck silver surface, contrasting with the polished proof fields surrounding it. |
