| Reverse description | The reverse presents a detailed architectural view of the Hirova Monastery complex rendered in fine engraving against a deeply mirrored proof field. The central motif depicts the main church with its characteristic octagonal bell tower surmounted by an Orthodox cross, flanked by lower ancillary monastic buildings, all adorned with crosses. Trees and a gently rolling landscape are visible in the background, conveying the rural setting of the monastery. The curved legend 'MĂNĂSTIREA HIROVA' arcs along the upper periphery in bold raised lettering. |
