In bronze, measures 62 x 41 mm, weighs 19 g. Saint Nikita the Martyr is depicted under the image of Christ-Not-Made-By-Hand, beating the demon who had been enticing him to give up his Christian faith and accept paganism. Believers pray to him asking for help in strengthening their faith, for healing, getting rid of bad habits and addictions, and for lifting curses. The inscription on the upper margin reads "Saint Martyr Nikita."

In good condition, showing mild wear to the highest points of the artwork, minor bumps to the bottom edge, and a small contact point to the right margin which caused the metal to crack. There is also a tiny partial crack to the margin on the opposite side, not going all the way through the metal, and a tiny hole to Nikita's cape punched through the metal. The reverse is unmarked and has the remaining part of a broken loop for threading a cord to wear the icon on your chest.

Please note, the penny in our photo is for size reference.
