| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a finely detailed quill pen rendered diagonally across the central field, symbolising the act of writing, in reference to the Freising Manuscripts — among the earliest known texts in a Slavic language. To the upper right, the Latin legend 'BRIŽINSKI SPOMENIKI' (Freising Monuments) appears in two lines, while to the lower right the inscription 'ŠKOF ABRAHAM' (Bishop Abraham) is given in two lines above the commemorative date range '994-1994'. Along the left side of the field, the word 'Glagolite' is inscribed vertically in both Glagolitic script characters and a stylised Latin rendering, referencing the ancient Glagolitic alphabet used in the manuscripts. |
