Comment
Mikhail III of Tver or Michael the Exile (1453–1505) was the last prince of Tver.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Saint George slaying a dragon on one side, which was a common motif in medieval Russian coinage. The use of this image was meant to symbolize the victory of good over evil and the protection of the state and its people by the Orthodox Church.
