| Reverse description | The reverse displays a detailed effigy of Saint Nicholas the Miracle Worker of Myra and Lycia, rendered after a traditional Bulgarian icon in high relief. The saint is depicted in episcopal vestments, shown in a frontal hieratic pose characteristic of Eastern Orthodox iconographic tradition, with a partial selective gold finish applied to enhance the sacred imagery. The circumferential legend 'СВЕТИ НИКОЛАЙ МИРЛИКИЙСКИ ЧУДОТВОРЕЦ' (Saint Nicholas the Miracle Worker of Myra and Lycia) runs along the full periphery of the coin in Cyrillic script. The iconographic style and gilded accent reflect the coin's commemorative and devotional character. |
