| Reverse description | The reverse bears the image of the Cantacuzin Engolpion, a historic Byzantine-style golden pectoral icon serving as a heraldic symbol of the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople. The central motif depicts a double-headed eagle displayed, with a cross incorporated into the design, executed in fine relief. The circular legend 'ENGOLPION CANTACUZIN' is engraved around the periphery of the field in Latin script. The design draws directly from the original ecclesiastical artifact associated with the Cantacuzino princely family and the Byzantine Orthodox tradition. The composition reflects the coin's place within Romania's 'History of Gold' commemorative series celebrating significant historical treasures. |
