| Reverse description | Frontal standing figure of the emperor Konstantin Tih Asen in imperial regalia, depicted in the Byzantine manner holding a patriarchal cross — a long-stemmed cross with double traverse bars — in the right hand. The figure is rendered in low relief on the concave (scyphate) flan, consistent with the hammered technique of medieval Bulgarian copper trachea. The garments display stylized folds typical of 13th-century Bulgarian imitations of Byzantine iconographic convention. A suspension hole is visible at the upper left of the flan, and the surfaces exhibit heavy green patination and wear. |
