Reverse description The reverse depicts the icon of the Most Holy Mother of God of Minsk in the traditional Byzantine style, showing the Theotokos enthroned and facing frontally, holding the Christ Child on her left arm. The Virgin is rendered in flowing robes with a maphorion draped over her head, while the Christ Child is shown blessing with his right hand and holding an orb in his left. Abbreviated Greek Christological inscriptions МФУ and ІС ХС appear in the upper field flanking the figures. The background and halo areas are selectively gold-plated, creating a striking contrast with the polished silver surfaces, and the Cyrillic legend МІНСКАЯ is inscribed within a cartouche along the lower margin.
