| Obverse description | Full-length frontal effigy of Grand Prince Vladimir Svyatoslavich, depicted apparently enthroned with bent legs, attired in a short princely cloak (korzno) fastened at the shoulder by a round fibula, the garment's hem terminating in beaded fringe. The prince wears a crown or ducal hat surmounted by a cross and flanked by pendant strands of beads. In his raised right hand he holds a staff topped with a cross, while his left hand rests upon his chest, partially concealed beneath the cloak; the trident dynastic symbol (tamga) appears above his left shoulder. A circular Cyrillic legend ВΛАДИМИРЪ НА СТОΛҌ (Vladimir on the Throne) surrounds the effigy in clockwise orientation with letters directed radially toward the coin's centre, enclosed within a beaded border. |

| Reverse description | Frontal bust of Jesus Christ Pantocrator within a cross-nimbus, depicted in the Byzantine iconographic tradition wearing a chiton, his left hand holding a jewelled Gospel book in a dotted binding while his right hand is concealed within the folds of his garment. The image closely follows Byzantine solidus prototypes of the period. A circular Cyrillic legend ЇСУСЪ ХРИСТИСЪ (Jesus Christ) surrounds the bust in clockwise orientation with letters directed radially toward the centre, enclosed within a beaded border. |
