Reverse
There is a lion's head, to the right of which is a fragment depicting lions. The fragment comes from a unique slate relief in the Kyiv Pechersk Lavra (a famous Kyiv monastery with caves), and dates back to the 11th century. Griffons, centaurs, lions, dragons and other images from antiquity were popular motifs in the decorative art of old Rus principalities. To the right, against the background of the fragment, is the vertical legend ЛЕВ (lion).
