| Reverse description | The central field depicts a detailed three-quarter perspective view of the Church of the Archangel Michael at Ikorta, a 12th-century Georgian-style stone church featuring a prominent drum-mounted dome surmounted by a cross, arched windows, and elaborately carved portal. To the upper left, a rectangular inset panel presents a relief icon of the Archangel Michael, shown in frontal pose with wings spread, holding a staff and an orb. To the upper right, the Roman numeral inscription 'XII æ.' denotes the 12th-century dating of the church. The upper legend reads '• АЛАЙНАГ ЕПАРХИ. ИКЪОРТА •' and the lower legend reads '+ АРХАНГЕЛ МИХАИЛЫ АРГЪУАН +', flanked by decorative Orthodox crosses at the lower left and right of the field. |
