| Reverse description | The reverse presents a detailed reproduction of decorative elements from Francysk Skaryna's Ruthenian Bible of 1517, dominated by a central panel featuring the printer's woodcut colophon or title vignette: a geometric printer's device within a rectangular frame, flanked by a heraldic eagle motif on the left — characteristic of Skaryna's Prague editions. Above, lines of Church Slavonic text in a semi-uncial script are visible in the field, excerpted from the Bible's preface. Across the lower portion of the field, the curved legend 'PRANCIŠKAUS SKORINOS RUSĖNIŠKOJI BIBLIJA' is inscribed in two lines in Latin script, with the numeral '500' prominently placed in the exergue, commemorating the five-hundredth anniversary of the publication. |
