| Reverse description | Rectangular reverse depicting a color reproduction of the iconic Byzantine-style icon of the Black Madonna of Częstochowa, rendered in rich tones of gold, crimson, and deep brown. The Virgin Mary is shown in three-quarter bust facing forward, wearing a jeweled mantle and crown, with the Christ Child depicted in formal hieratic pose on her left arm. Characteristic scar marks are visible on the Virgin's right cheek, faithful to the historical icon. The inscription 'MADONNA OF CZĘSTOCHOWA' appears within the design, serving as the primary identifying legend of this devotional piece. |
