| Beschrijving voorzijde | Half-length frontal bust of the Theotokos (Mother of God) in orans posture, with arms raised and hands extended in prayer, the Christ Child depicted on her breast in mandorla. The figure is rendered in the Byzantine hieratic style typical of Bulgarian medieval coinage. The Marian monogram M-Θ (Meter Theou) appears in the field to either side of the bust. The design is enclosed within a beaded inner circle, itself surrounded by a dotted border, with a small star-like ornament visible to the left of the field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Ivan Shishman's fourth silver coinage belongs to the closing years of the Second Bulgarian Empire, when Ottoman pressure had reduced the Tarnovo tsardom to a rump state paying tribute and ceding territory in pieces. Shishman himself was captured by Murad I around 1388 and forced into vassalage before briefly reclaiming nominal independence. The empire fell definitively in 1393 when Tarnovo was sacked — making any coin attributable to this final coinage among the last struck under Bulgarian imperial authority for nearly five centuries.
