| Reverse description | The oval reverse bears a full-color icon-style composition depicting three sacred figures against a plain silver field. At center stands Christ Pantocrator, shown frontally with long brown hair and a golden halo bearing a cruciform nimbus; he raises his right hand in blessing and holds an open gospel book inscribed with Cyrillic text in his left. To his left stands Saint Vladimir the Great, depicted as a bearded elder in red and gold imperial robes, holding a large patriarchal cross. To Christ's right stands Saint Olga of Kiev, crowned and veiled, dressed in blue robes with gold ornamentation, holding a small cross before her chest. Each flanking figure is shown with a golden halo. The composition is executed in vivid polychrome enamel applied color, rendered in a traditional Byzantine-Russian iconographic style. |
