| Reverse description | The reverse displays a stylized fortress or castle motif, a characteristic device of Ivan Shishman's coinage, rendered in low hammered relief. The architectural emblem, likely representing the fortified capital Veliko Tarnovo, is composed of a central tower or gateway flanked by crenellated walls. Cyrillic lettering appears in the fields surrounding the central device, though worn and partially legible on this specimen. The irregular flan edges and uneven strike are consistent with hand-hammered copper trachy production of the late Second Bulgarian Empire. The overall composition reflects the iconographic conventions established under the Shishman dynasty. |
