The reverse presents a richly colored icon-style depiction of Saint Nicholas. He is shown front-facing with a halo, wearing ornate bishop’s vestments decorated with intricate patterns in red, gold, and green tones. In one hand, he raises a gesture of blessing, while in the other he holds a richly adorned Gospel book featuring a central ornament. His calm and wise expression reflects spiritual authority and compassion. The deep green background enhances the sacred composition, and the inscription below identifies Saint Nicholas along with the year 2011.
