| Reverse description | The reverse presents a high-relief depiction of Christ Pantocrator rendered in the style of a Byzantine icon. The frontal bust of Christ dominates the field, his right hand raised in a gesture of benediction and his left hand holding an open codex inscribed with the Alpha and Omega symbols. A cruciform nimbus surrounds the head, with the Greek abbreviations 'IC XC' (Jesus Christ) flanking the figure and 'O ON' within the nimbus arms. The surrounding border is inscribed with a repeating Greek liturgical legend 'ΑΓΙΟΣ ΑΓΙΟΣ ΑΓΙΟΣ' (Holy, Holy, Holy), rendered in Byzantine uncial script. |
