| Reverse description | The reverse features a full-length, frontal iconic depiction of Saint Matrona of Moscow rendered in vivid polychrome enamel coloring against a deep black field. The saint is shown wearing a crimson tunic and pale blue skirt with a white headscarf, her hands raised in a gesture of prayer, and surrounded by a golden halo rendered in the Byzantine iconographic tradition. To the lower left appears a colored vignette of a domed Orthodox chapel, and to the lower right a white-rendered Orthodox church with a bell tower, both framing the central figure. The Cyrillic legend СВЯТАЯ БЛАЖЕННАЯ is inscribed vertically along the left border, and МОСКОВСКАЯ along the right, with the name МАТРОНА inscribed horizontally at the top of the central field. The silver fineness mark Ag 925 appears in the lower right corner of the field. |
