Small flying pterosaurs and a mountain silhouette appear in the background behind the figure. The Cyrillic legend КИЛЕСК arcs along the upper periphery, while the Latin binomial scientific name Kileskus aristotocus curves along the lower right in smaller lettering. Two small circular decorative stops flank the upper field. |

| Additional information |
The chervonets denomination has a complicated Soviet history — originally a hard-currency gold coin introduced by the Bolsheviks in 1922 to stabilize an economy in freefall, it was later suppressed domestically while copies were quietly re-struck for foreign trade. Reviving the name in a nickel silver commemorative issue is a distinctly Russian act of monetary nostalgia, though the denomination carries no transactional weight today.
