Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Vasiliy III, who was the Grand Prince of Moscow from 1505 to 1533. During his reign, he implemented several reforms, including the creation of a new monetary system, which led to the minting of this coin. The coin's design features the image of Saint George, the patron saint of Moscow, on one side, and the prince's name and title on the other. The use of silver in the coin's minting was a significant departure from the previous coins, which were made of copper, and it reflected the growing wealth and influence of the Grand Principality of Moscow during Vasiliy III's rule.
