Reverse description Christ (Jesus) depicted standing in mandorla, shown in frontal orans-like pose holding a Gospel book with both hands before his chest. The figure is rendered in a stylized Byzantine manner typical of medieval Serbian coinage. The Christogram abbreviation IC XC (Iesus Christus) appears divided in the field to the left and right of the central figure, consistent with Orthodox iconographic convention.
