| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a full-length iconic effigy of Saint Ivan of Rila (St. John of Rila), patron saint of Bulgaria, shown standing to the right in monastic robes and wearing a bishop's hat surmounted by a cross. He holds a patriarchal cross-staff in his right hand and a crozier in his left, with a nimbus encircling his head. To the lower left, a detailed relief of the Rila Monastery church is shown in three-quarter perspective, its domed roofline and arcaded facades rendered with precision. The denomination 1000 ЛЕВА appears in large numerals to the left of the figure, and the Cyrillic inscription СВ. ИВАН РИЛСКИ arcs along the upper field identifying the saint. |
