| Obverse description | Facing bust of Christ Pantokrator within a double beaded border, depicted with long hair and a forked beard, wearing an elaborately jewelled nimbus cruciger with visible cross terminals. Christ is shown in a frontal, hieratic Byzantine style, dressed in imperial loros-like vestments, his right hand raised in a gesture of benediction and his left hand supporting a jewelled Gospels book. The surrounding circular legend reads +IҺS XIS RЄX RЄςNANTIҺm, identifying Christ as the Reigning King. |
