Reverse description Central design presents a detailed three-quarter perspective view of the Dormition Cathedral of Dranda, a sixth-century early Byzantine domed church rendered with careful architectural detail including arched windows, a central dome surmounted by a cross, and stone masonry walls. To the left of the cathedral stands a robed saintly figure depicted in Byzantine iconographic style. To the right, an ornate cross potent is shown in the field. The curved legend 'НАНҲӘА ИАЗКУ ДРАНДА-НЫХА' (The Dormition Cathedral of Dranda) arcs across the upper field in Cyrillic Abkhaz script. The inscription 'VI ашә.' (6th century) appears in the lower exergue, referencing the cathedral's historical date of construction.
