This is a 20th century design engraved with the Russian
St. Andrew Cross, IC XC for "Jesus Christ", and a symbol representing
the light of Christ at the top. On the reverse side is the Slavonic phrase "spasi
I sokhrani", meaning "save and protect". Tradition teaches
that when the Apostle Andrew preached in southern Russia he placed a life-size
three-bar cross at his side. While explaining the Last Judgement he tilted
the foot plate to signify that those on the right side of Christ will
go up into heaven and those on the left will go down into hell.
