| Reverse description | Central field portrays the icon of the Virgin Mary 'The Golden Apple' (Света Богородица Златната Ябълка), depicting the Theotokos in a frontal, icon-style composition holding the Christ Child in her left arm. Both figures are rendered with fine engraved detail evoking the Byzantine iconographic tradition, with the Virgin shown draped and crowned. The inscription 'СВ. БОГОРОДИЦА' appears to the left of the figure and 'ЗЛАТНА ЯБЪЛКА' to the right, in Cyrillic script within the field. |
