The reverse of the coin on the mirror background depicts a portrait of Alexei Pogorelov, to the left of which is an abstract figure, symbolizing topological research of mathematics in geometry, and the inscription: ALEXEY / POGORELOV / 1919 - 2002.
Dedicated to outstanding mathematician, teacher, design engineer, academician of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, Honored Worker of Science and Technology of Ukraine, winner of many state and scientific awards - Alexey Vasilyevich Pogorelov. Research scientist allowed to complete the development of the theory of complete irregular convex surfaces and laid the foundation of the nonlinear geometric theory of shells - the most common elements of modern structures. Alexey Pogorelov is the author of dozens of monographs and textbooks (in particular, the original school textbook on geometry and university textbooks on analytic and differential geometry), most of which are translated into English.
