| Reverse description | The reverse presents a cruciform compositional arrangement with a prominent relief portrait of Prince Volodymyr the Great (Volodymyr the Baptist) in the foreground, depicted in regal attire with a cross motif. Behind him, a multi-figure scene represents the baptism of the Kyivites in the Dnipro River, rendered in a stylized, iconographic manner. The inscription ХРЕЩЕННЯ РУСІ (Baptizing of Rus) is positioned within the field in an arcuate or conventional arrangement.
