| Reverse description | The reverse presents a cruciform compositional arrangement with Prince Volodymyr the Great (Volodymyr the Baptist) depicted in the foreground in a frontal, iconic style evoking Byzantine artistic traditions. Behind the central figure, a detailed scene illustrates the mass baptism of the Kyivan Rus population in the waters of the Dnipro River, rendered in intricate relief. The design blends historical and spiritual iconography to commemorate the Christianization of Kievan Rus. The inscription ХРЕЩЕННЯ РУСІ, meaning 'Baptizing of Rus,' appears as a stylized, conventionalized legend integrated into the composition. |
