To the left of the cathedral, a small decorative ecclesiastical ornament is present in the field, and to the right, a small shield device appears. The curved Cyrillic legend 'АЦҚЬА МАРИА НЦӘАДЗЫХШААЗ ИЛЫЗКУ БЕДИА НЫХА' (The Bedia Cathedral of the Holy Mary, the Mother of God) arcs around the upper portion of the coin. Below the cathedral, the inscription 'Х АШӘ.' appears in the exergue, indicating the 10th century date of the cathedral's founding.
