| Obverse description | Bust of Christ Pantokrator facing, depicted nimbate with a cruciform nimbus, rendered in low relief on the concave field. The figure is shown in frontal presentation wearing imperial robes, with the right hand raised in benediction and the left hand holding the Gospels. The Christogram legend IC XC appears in the field to either side of the bust, in Greek characters. The overall style reflects the Byzantine artistic tradition adapted by the Second Bulgarian Empire. |
