Reverse description A multi-layered relief composition centred on the Peter and Paul Cathedral and its spire, framed by a schematic outline of the star-shaped bastions of the Peter and Paul Fortress. A cartographic rendering of the Neva delta region fills the background. Multiple period sailing warships in high relief are depicted to the left and right flanking the fortress outline. A scroll legend at top names the city, while a lower banner with the date 1703 and the fortress name runs along the base.
