Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an Arabic inscription, which is a rare feature for coins issued by the Grand Principality of Moscow during this time period. The inscription reads "There is no god but Allah, Muhammad is the messenger of Allah" and is a nod to the Islamic influence on the region during the 15th century.
