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. This image was used to symbolize the victory of good over evil and was often associated with the ruling prince, who was seen as a protector of the realm. The use of this image on the coin may have been intended to convey the idea that the prince was a strong and powerful leader who was capable of protecting his people from harm.
