| Reverse description | The reverse presents a finely rendered icon of the Minsk Mother of God (Theotokos of Minsk), depicted in the traditional Byzantine manner with the Virgin Mary shown in a three-quarter frontal pose, her head covered in a maphorion, tenderly holding the Christ Child on her left arm. The Christ Child is shown facing forward with a gold-plated halo, offering a gesture of blessing. Both principal figures bear gold-plated haloes, their faces executed in delicate relief against a richly textured background of stylized floral and foliate motifs that fill the field. Abbreviated Cyrillic Marian and Christological inscriptions appear in the upper field flanking the figures. A cartouche at the base of the design bears the inscription 'МІНСКАЯ' identifying the icon. |
