| Reverse description | Frontal bust of Jesus Christ depicted in Byzantine orant or Pantocrator style, with a cruciform nimbus (halo), rendered in the manner characteristic of contemporary Byzantine coinage. Christ is shown with both arms raised or gesturing, wearing imperial robes with visible drapery folds. A Cyrillic inscription surrounds the figure within a beaded border, identifying the image. The stylised, flat relief execution is consistent with the early hammered coinages of Kyivan Rus, strongly influenced by Byzantine prototypes of the Macedonian dynasty. |
