Description:
The Tithe Church's reconstructed contours, based on Professor J.S. Aseyev's work, are mirrored on a mat field, appearing to emerge from its real foundations. Around the coin's circumference on this field are the inscriptions: КИЇВ, ДЕСЯТИННА ЦЕРКВА, 996, separated by stylized birds. Below, on the glass, a ribbon reads: ДУХОВНІ СКАРБИ УКРАЇНИ.
