| Obverse description | Half-length frontal bust of Saint Dimitrios in orans posture, arms raised and hands extended outward in the traditional intercessory gesture. The saint is depicted in ecclesiastical vestments with nimbus, rendered in a flat Byzantine provincial style. The figure occupies the central field of the flan, with no visible legend on this side. |

The ruler holds a long spear in his right hand and a round shield in his left, conveying martial authority. The effigy is rendered in the Byzantine trachy tradition, with bold relief typical of Bulgarian provincial coinage of the mid-thirteenth century. |
