| Obverse description | The obverse depicts the Presentation of the Lord in high relief against a recessed dark field: Simeon the God-Receiver (left), haloed and bearded, cradles the infant Jesus in his arms, while the haloed Virgin Mary (right) stands facing him with a raised hand in a gesture of blessing, both figures set beneath a classical arch with flanking columns. The legend in Church Slavonic-style Cyrillic script curves along the upper rim. |
