| Reverse description | A large central butterfly with wings spread is rendered with a holographic foil insert on its wings, producing an iridescent multicolour effect across the field. Surrounding the central motif, nine additional butterflies and moths of varying species are depicted in finely milled relief across the lower and lateral fields, arranged in a naturalistic, scattered composition. The Cyrillic legend С ПРАЗДНИКОМ! arcs along the upper rim of the coin in incuse lettering. The overall design celebrates the beauty of lepidoptera in a decorative, commemorative style typical of Moscow Mint collector issues. |
