Obverse description The obverse presents a detailed relief depiction of the Alexandrinsky Theatre in St. Petersburg, rendered in three-quarter perspective against a mirror-polished field with laser-matted clouds in the upper background. The neoclassical Empire-style facade, designed by Carlo Rossi, is shown with its characteristic colonnades, sculptural attic, and arched openings. The Cyrillic legend АЛЕКСАНДРИНСКИЙ ТЕАТР arcs along the upper rim.
