| Reverse description | Enthroned frontal figure of Emperor Isaac II Angelos in full imperial regalia, depicted in the conventional Byzantine manner as adapted by Bulgarian imitators. The emperor is shown seated on a high-backed loros throne, holding a patriarchal cross-scepter in his right hand and an akakia or globus cruciger in his left, with garments rendered in schematic, deeply-cut relief. Above the figure, a cross or cruciform ornament is visible at the upper field. The workmanship is cruder than the Byzantine prototype, with compressed proportions and simplified drapery folds consistent with Second Bulgarian Empire imitative production of circa 1200–1202. |
