| Obverse description | Central nickel silver field bears a finely detailed high-relief depiction of a European cat snake (Telescopus fallax) coiled around a naturalistic tree branch, its scales rendered with exceptional sculptural precision. The snake's head is directed to the left, with the body looping gracefully across the composition in a dynamic S-curve. The engraver's initials МВ (MasterVision) appear in the lower right area of the centre field. The brass outer ring carries the Cyrillic legend КОШАЧЬЯ ЗМЕЯ (Cat Snake) along the upper arc and the Latin binomial name Telescopus fallax along the lower arc, both separated by raised dot stops. |
