Obverse description Frontal effigy of Prince Vladimir the Great enthroned, seated on a high-backed throne with dotted ornamental detailing, holding a long cross in his right hand. The prince is depicted in Byzantine-influenced regalia with a crown or princely headdress. A Cyrillic legend surrounds the central design within a beaded border, identifying the ruler. The overall composition reflects the strong Byzantine artistic influence prevalent in early Kyivan Rus coinage.

Reverse description Central field occupied by the dynastic trident symbol (trizub) of Prince Vladimir, rendered in an elaborate decorative style with curved and scrolled terminal elements and a heart-shaped finial at the base. The trident is set within a beaded inner circle, with a Cyrillic marginal legend surrounding the device. The trizub serves as the principal dynastic emblem of the Rurikid house and is the defining type symbol of this series.
