Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Ivan III, also known as Ivan the Great, who was the Grand Prince of Moscow and the first ruler of the Tsardom of Russia. He played a significant role in Russian history, implementing reforms that helped to centralize power and establish Moscow as a major political and cultural center. The coin's design and minting process were likely overseen by Ivan III himself, making it a unique piece of history that reflects the economic and political developments of that time.
