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 Grand Principality of Moscow. He played a significant role in Russian history, and his reign marked the beginning of the centralization of power in Moscow, which would eventually lead to the formation of the Russian Empire.
