| Obverse description | Detailed relief depiction of the Church of Our Lady of Kazan in Zelenogorsk (formerly Terijoki), showing the Orthodox church complex with its bell tower, onion domes topped with crosses, and surrounding structures. The design is divided into two tonal halves — left in silver finish and right in bronze — creating a striking contrast effect. A dotted border frames the composition, with the legend arranged along the left and right periphery and an inscription in the lower field. |
