| Obverse description | High-relief sculptural depiction of the head of Medusa rendered in antique silver finish, presented as a three-dimensional mask occupying the full face of the coin. The gorgon's visage features a serene yet haunting feminine face with parted lips and one inset red crystal eye visible, with tear-like markings on the cheek. Her flowing hair is composed of intertwining serpents rendered in darkened silver on the right side, while rose-gold plated blooming roses adorn the left side, creating a striking contrast of finishes. The irregular scalloped border of the coin is formed by the coiling bodies of snakes and clusters of roses in rose-gold plate, reinforcing the sculptural character of the piece. |
