| Reverse description | The reverse presents a facsimile of the Zografou draft of the Historiae Sclavo-Bulgaricus alongside a list of Bulgarian rulers, rendered against a finely worked multicolour guilloche underprint. Heraldic vignettes include Tsar Kaloyan's Ring Seal, three royal seals bearing the effigies of Bulgarian sovereigns Mihail Shishman, Svetoslav Terter, and Ivan Asen II, and Hristofor Zhefarovich's crowned lion rampant. Bulgaria's Coat of Arms with three lions, as published in the 1483 Gruenberg Heraldic Compendium, appears in the lower field. |
