| Reverse description | The reverse is struck in the style of a gilded Orthodox icon, depicting Saint Olga (Equal-to-the-Apostles, Princess of Rus) in full frontal view, clad in imperial Byzantine robes and crown with a gilded halo, holding a cross in her right hand and a model of a church in her left. The central iconic image is framed within a rectangular border adorned with gilded corner ornaments set against a dark, stippled field background. The Cyrillic inscription РАВНОАПОСТОЛЬНАЯ СВ. КНЯГИНЯ ОЛЬГА curves along the left and right sides of the coin, identifying the subject as Equal-Apostles Saint Princess Olga. The extensive use of gold gilding on the halo, vestments, and decorative elements lends the design a rich, devotional character consistent with traditional Orthodox iconography. |
