Reverse description Circular Cyrillic legend arranged around the field, reading ПЕЧАТЬ (meaning 'seal'), consistent with the chancery seal tradition of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania under Grand Duke Kestutis. The lettering is disposed in a ring formation within the confines of the irregular flan, with characters executed in a bold, archaic Cyrillic hand. The central field is largely plain, with the inscription serving as the primary decorative and identifying element. The overall layout reflects the influence of Ruthenian administrative and monetary conventions prevalent in the Lithuanian state during the third quarter of the 14th century.
