| Reverse description | A detailed relief map of Europe and western Asia fills the central field, depicting the historic Amber Road trade route as a sinuous band of inlaid genuine amber stones running diagonally from the lower left to the upper right, connecting the cities of Venice, Gdansk, and St. Petersburg, each labeled in the field.
