| Obverse description | The obverse depicts in low relief a dynamic sculptural scene of the legendary tachanka — a horse-drawn machine-gun cart — at full gallop, with figures of Red Army soldiers manning the weapon and a small flag standard visible to the left. The composition fills the central field against a plain, unadorned background. |
