| Reverse description | Christ Pantocrator enthroned facing, depicted in Byzantine style with a cruciform nimbus, raising the right hand in benediction and holding the Gospels in the left hand. The Christogram IC XC (an abbreviation of the Greek IHCOYC XPICTOC, Jesus Christ) appears in the field to the left and right of the enthroned figure. The design closely follows Byzantine iconographic conventions, emphasizing the frontal, majestic presentation of Christ as ruler of all. |
