| Reverse description | A full-color iconic portrait of Saint Olga of Kiev occupies the left field, depicted frontally in the Byzantine iconographic tradition: crowned, wearing a jeweled mantle and white veil, and holding a golden processional cross in her right hand. A golden halo surrounds her head. In the center-lower field, a small Orthodox church with a blue dome is rendered in color. The right field features a raised sculptural depiction of a leopard in relief against the dark background, serving as the heraldic symbol associated with the name Olga. An embedded Swarovski crystal accent appears at lower left. The inscriptions identify the name in both Macedonian and Russian scripts, along with the silver fineness mark. |

| Additional information |
The "Olga" in this coin's name refers to Olga Ivanova Murdzeva, a Macedonian painter whose work became the subject of a dedicated commemorative program by the National Bank. Macedonia's silver commemorative series has consistently used the 28.28g/.925 specification shared across dozens of European commemorative programs — a deliberate choice that allows these coins to circulate within established collector markets without requiring custom assay infrastructure.
