Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the second reign of Daniil Borisovich, who was the Grand Prince of Nizhny Novgorod-Suzdal from 1423 to 1429. This was a time of great political and economic change in the region, as the Principality was facing challenges from neighboring states and struggling to maintain its independence. Despite these challenges, the minting of this coin suggests that the Principality was still capable of producing currency and maintaining some level of economic stability.
