Reverse
On the coin reverse in the centre there are the contours of the Tithe Church reconstructed after professor J.S.Aseyev to underline, that the structure does not exist in reality. These contours are presented with mirror lines on a mat background; they give an impression of emerging from the really existed foundation. On the upper coin mat surface around the coin circumference there are inscriptions: КИЇВ, ДЕСЯТИННА ЦЕРКВА, 996 , separated from one another with a conventionalized birds depiction. Underneath on the glass background there is a ribbon with an inscription: ДУХОВНІ СКАРБИ УКРАЇНИ.
