Comment
Date of issue: 28 SEP 2020‘Morozko’, a traditional Slavic fairy tale, is based on the idea of importance of such human qualities as kindness, industriousness and obedience.
An evil woman wishes to get rid of her kind and hard-working stepdaughter and orders her husband to take her deep into the forest and leave her there to die. In the woods, the girl meets Morozko. She is polite and kind to him, and in response he gives her furs and jewellery. The stepmother, seeing the riches that her stepdaughter has received, sends her own daughter into the forest, but she is rude and unkind to Morozko, for which she is punished.
Interesting fact
The Morozko coin's design features a depiction of a traditional Russian winter scene, with a young girl dressed in a fur-lined coat and hat, holding a bunch of snowdrops. The image is surrounded by intricate engravings of snowflakes and branches, giving it a beautiful and unique look.
