The reverse displays the denomination “20 СТОТИНКИ” in bold lettering, with the date 1913 placed beneath. The central inscription is enclosed by an ornate wreath composed of laurel and oak branches with finely engraved leaves, acorns, roses, and a ribbon bow at the bottom, symbolizing victory, endurance, and civic virtue. A dotted rim completes the elegant design.
