Surrounding the central device is a ring of ten colorful enameled city coats of arms, each set against red, blue, or white backgrounds and depicting various heraldic devices including a bear, a deer, lions, a bird, a Viking ship, and human figures. The background field is engraved with stylized architectural silhouettes of historic Russian cities. |
