| Reverse description | The reverse presents a detailed relief depiction of the Dormition Cathedral of Myku (Мыкә-Ныха), a medieval stone church of the 10th century rendered in three-quarter perspective, showing its characteristic arched entrance portal, blind arcading along the nave walls, and a central drum surmounted by a dome. To the left of the cathedral stands an ornate processional cross on a tall staff, and to the right an open book, symbolizing scripture. The curved Cyrillic legend 'НАНҲӘА ИАЗКУ МЫҚӘ-НЫХА' arcs across the upper field, and the inscription 'Х ашә.' (10th century) appears in the lower exergue. |
