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 symbolized the victory of good over evil and was meant to convey the idea that the ruler was a protector of the people and a defender of the faith.
