| Reverse description | At center, a crowned and bearded bust of Alexandru cel Bun (Alexander the Good), Prince of Moldavia, facing slightly three-quarters left, draped in princely robes with an ornate crown upon his head and long flowing beard rendered in fine detail. In the background to the left, a medieval Orthodox church or fortified structure is depicted in low relief.
