| Additional information |
MasterVision is a Russian private token-medal issuer operating outside the state monetary system; these pieces carry no legal tender status and circulate purely as collectibles or gaming tokens. The "Chervonets" denomination is a deliberate historical affectation — the chervonets was a Soviet gold currency unit of the 1920s, revived briefly in name during post-Soviet numismatic nostalgia, lending these private issues a faux-monetary gravitas they don't technically possess.
Empusa fasciata is a praying mantis species native to southern Europe and Central Asia, known for the distinctive conical head projection of its females.
