Reverse description At center, a detailed relief depiction of the Cathedral of St. Andrew the First-Called Apostle in Pitsunda dominates the field, rendered with architectural precision. To the left of the cathedral stands the figure of a priest carrying a cross, while to the right appears an Abkhazian Catholicos mitre. A semicircular inscription in Abkhazian arcs across the upper field, reading 'АЦҚЬА АНДРЕИ АҦХЬАНАҦХЬАҨ ИЗКУ ПИЦУНДАТӘИ АНЫХА' (The Cathedral of St. Andrew, the First-Called Apostle in Pitsunda). Below the cathedral image, an inscription records the date of the building's construction, with selective gold-plating enhancing principal design elements.
