| Beschrijving keerzijde | 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. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The srebrennik was struck under Vladimir Sviatoslavich following his conversion to Byzantine Christianity in 988 — a political realignment so total that it restructured Kyivan coinage, diplomacy, and ecclesiastical authority simultaneously. Before Vladimir, Rus rulers had no native silver coinage at all; the srebrennik was an assertion of sovereign minting rights modeled explicitly on Byzantine miliaresia, down to the fabric and module.
Type I is the earliest of four recognized types and the rarest in any condition. Surviving examples are predominantly excavation finds, typically corroded and fragmentary, which means problem-free specimens are genuinely exceptional rather than merely scarce by registry standards.
