| Reverse description | The reverse presents a richly detailed depiction of an ornate Eastern Orthodox reliquary cross rendered in selective gold and yellow coloring against a selectively oxidized dark background, with radiating lines emanating from the center to the coin's periphery. At the heart of the cross is an oval medallion containing a finely engraved image of the Zhirovichi Icon of the Mother of God (Theotokos), showing the Virgin Mary with the Christ Child in the traditional Byzantine iconographic style. The cross is elaborately decorated with filigree and granulation patterns characteristic of Orthodox ecclesiastical goldsmithing. The curved legend '550 ГАДОЎ ЗДАБЫЦЦЯ ЦУДАТВОРНАЙ ЖЫРОВІЦКАЙ ІКОНЫ БОЖАЙ МАЦІ' (550 Years of Obtaining the Miraculous Zhirovichi Icon of the Mother of God) arcs along the left and right periphery of the coin. |
