(Translation: St. Blase of Ragusa)
Reverse description Standing frontal figure of Christ Pantocrator, draped in robes, with right hand raised in benediction and left hand holding the Gospels. The figure is rendered in a Byzantine-influenced style typical of Ragusan medieval coinage. Flanking legends in Greek characters reference Jesus Christ, with the Omega symbol (Ω) appearing as a mint or type differentiator. The coin's extremely thin flan and hammered technique result in some weakness of strike across the reverse field.
