Obverse description The obverse is divided into two distinct zones by a vertical line. The right half depicts a finely rendered icon-style image of an archangel, shown as a haloed, winged figure in ornate Byzantine vestments, facing slightly left and holding a staff, with decorative beaded nimbus and elaborate drapery rendered in high relief. The left half contains the polished mirror field bearing the Bulgarian coat of arms above the denomination '10 ЛЕВА' in large numerals, with the date '2019' to the right and the Cyrillic legend 'БЪЛГАРСКА НАРОДНА БАНКА' arranged vertically along the left rim.

The architectural details of the monastery's rooftops, arched colonnades, and surrounding cypress and deciduous trees are depicted with precision. The Cyrillic legend 'ДРЯНОВСКИ МАНАСТИР' (Dryanovo Monastery) arcs along the upper rim of the coin in an elegant serif script.
