| Obverse description | Bare-headed, bearded effigy of Tsar Ferdinand I facing left, with engraver's signature R. MARSCHALL incuse at the truncation. The Cyrillic legend encircles the portrait close to the beaded border, reading from lower left to upper right. The portrait is rendered in high relief with fine naturalistic detail to the hair and beard, in the academic style characteristic of late 19th- and early 20th-century European coinage. |
