| Additional information |
St. Matrona of Moskva — born Matrona Dmitrievna Nikonova, allegedly in 1881 in Tula Oblast — was blind from birth and became one of the most venerated figures in Russian Orthodoxy, though her official canonization by the Moscow Patriarchate came only in 2004. Her connection to Macedonia is oblique at best: the issue reflects the significant Orthodox Christian population in the republic and a broader Macedonian commemorative coin program that frequently reached beyond national borders for religious subjects.
The KM#67 assignment places this among a short run of .925 silver devotional issues from the National Bank during that period.
