| Reverse description | The reverse features a central rectangular tablet with ornate scrollwork cartouche border, enclosing the four-line Cyrillic devotional motto НЕ НАМЪ, НЕ НАМЪ, А ИМЯНИ ТВОЕМУ (Not unto us, not unto us, but unto Thy name), a biblical inscription from Psalm 115:1 adopted by Emperor Paul I as his personal device. The lettering is boldly engraved in a serif style and fills the panel in an orderly, symmetrical arrangement. Elaborate foliate flourishes and volutes frame the cartouche on all sides, leaving a plain surrounding field. The overall composition is characteristic of the devotional aesthetic promoted by Paul I during his brief reign. |
