| Reverse description | Full-color reproduction of an Orthodox iconographic composition depicting the Last Supper, applied by color printing technique to the coin's field. Christ is shown centrally enthroned at a draped table, distinguished by a prominent golden nimbus, with six apostles arrayed to his left and six to his right, each bearing golden halos; a chalice rests on the table before Christ, and a ceramic amphora and bowl are placed in the foreground. The composition is rendered against a dark nocturnal background, with vivid polychrome robes accentuating the figures. The Cyrillic legend 'ТАЙНАѦ ВЕЧЕРѦ' (The Last Supper) appears in white lettering at the upper portion of the field. |
