| Reverse description | The reverse presents a faithful reproduction of the celebrated icon 'The Virgin of the Don', attributed to Theophanes the Greek, rendered in fine detail at centre. The iconic image depicts the Virgin Mary holding the Christ Child in a tender embrace, rendered in the Byzantine artistic tradition. Flanking the icon in two vertical columns, the inscription ФЕОФАН ГРЕК (Theophanes the Greek) identifies the attributed artist, with ФЕОФАН to the left and ГРЕК to the right. |
