| Reverse description | The reverse presents an elaborate multi-layered composition centered on the New Athos Monastery, depicting the cathedral with gilt domes rising beneath a radiant eight-pointed star. At center, a colorized icon of the Virgin and Child is inset, framed by an ornamental surround. To the left and right stand relief figures of saints identified by inscriptions — Simon the Canaanite and Panteleimon — each with gilt halos. The field around the central cross-shaped composition features relief architectural and religious motifs, with a multi-line Abkhaz inscription in the lower center and the founding date 1875 incorporated into the text. The legend НОВЫЙ АФОНСКИЙ МОНАСТЫРЬ 1875 appears in Cyrillic. |
