Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Russian and Mongolian influences in its design. The Cyrillic legend and the dragon on the left side of the coin reflect the Russian cultural heritage, while the use of silver as the material and the overall design of the coin showcase the impact of Mongolian rule on the Grand Principality of Moscow during that time period. This blending of cultures is a fascinating aspect of the coin's history and speaks to the complex and multifaceted nature of the region's cultural identity during the 15th century.
