The Wheel of Life

The reverse face depicts the proverbial wheel of life, the spokes of which are formed from a stylistic representation of a man and a woman. All of this is picked out with gilding against a clean proof background. The inscription ‘WHEEL OF LIFE’ in Ukrainian surrounds the gilded artwork. The obverse is meant to symbolise the path to light and it does so by depicting a road running through hills and valleys towwards a coloured sun in the background. Clever in concept and attractive in execution, even the few inscriptions here are placed well and not scattered all over the design as a bureauocrat is likely to do to an artists work in many cases.
