| Reverse description | The reverse presents a finely detailed icon-style relief composition depicting the Annunciation, with the Archangel Gabriel standing at left, his right hand raised in blessing and a staff in his left, facing the Virgin Mary who is seated at right before an architectural backdrop with columns and drapery. A divine ray descends from above toward the Virgin, rendered in a manner consistent with traditional Orthodox iconographic convention. The scene is executed in high relief with rich detail throughout the architectural and figural elements. The Cyrillic legend БЛАГОВЕЩЕНИЕ (Annunciation) arcs along the upper border of the coin. |
