Reverse description A heraldic double-headed eagle displayed, with both heads turned outward, executed in a bold and stylized relief consistent with Byzantine artistic traditions adopted by Bulgarian medieval rulers. Between the two heads rises a staff surmounted by a star, serving as a dynastic or emblematic symbol. The design fills the irregular flan and is characteristic of the coinage struck under Ivan Stratsimir during his rule over the Vidin Tsardom. The overall composition reflects the political legitimacy claims of the issuer through established imperial iconography.
