EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a rare and significant artifact from the rich history of Russia. The coin, known as Zlatnik, features the portrait of Grand Duke Vladimir Svyatoslavich on its obverse side. Crafted between 980-1015, this numismatic masterpiece is an artistic representation of a prominent ruler during the Middle Ages. The coin's exquisite design reflects the fusion of traditional elements with Christian symbolism. Made from precious gold, it symbolizes wealth and power associated with the ruler's reign over Ukraine and Russia. Its intricate details depict folklore motifs intertwined with religious imagery, highlighting the strong influence of Orthodox Christianity in that era. As a statesman and sovereign leader, Grand Duke Vladimir played a pivotal role in shaping Russian history. He was instrumental in introducing Christianity to Kievan Rus through his baptism in 988 AD, which led to the widespread adoption of Russian Orthodoxy throughout his realm. Preserved within the esteemed collection of State Hermitage in St. Petersburg, this coin serves as a tangible link to early Rus and offers valuable insights into Slavic peoples' culture and heritage. It represents not only an object of historical significance but also an embodiment of fine artistry prevalent during that time period. Through this photo print, viewers can appreciate both the craftsmanship involved in creating such coins and their profound historical context within Russian history – specifically during Vladimir Svyatoslavich's reign as Grand Prince of Kiev.
