| Obverse description | Frontal enthroned effigy of Prince Vladimir the Great, seated on a high-backed throne, depicted in the Byzantine hieratic tradition with stylized robes and regalia. The prince holds a cross-tipped scepter in his right hand, while his left rests on his knee; a large crown or diadem with pendant lappets surmounts the head. A dotted inner border frames the central device, and the Cyrillic legend ВЛАДИМИРЪ НА СТОЛѢ (Vladimir on the throne) runs around the periphery, partially visible through wear. The design reflects strong Byzantine iconographic influence adapted to Rus coinage conventions. |
