| Reverse description | A three-quarter facing portrait bust of Miron Costin, the 17th-century Moldavian chronicler and poet, dominates the centre of the field, rendered in fine relief against a mirror-polished background. He is depicted wearing a tall traditional fur-trimmed boyar hat with a feather ornament, and a long flowing beard, conveying his historical stature and scholarly dignity. To the upper right, an inkwell with a quill pen and a stack of books with a scroll are depicted, symbolic of his literary and historiographic legacy. His birth and death years, '1633' and '1691', are inscribed in Gothic-style numerals to the left of the portrait, separated by a horizontal rule. The legend 'MIRON COSTIN', flanked by decorative diamond-shaped stops, curves along the lower periphery of the coin. |
