Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique combination of both Cyrillic and animal symbols. On one side, it has the Cyrillic legend "ВАСИЛИЕ ДМИТРИЕВИЧ" (Vasily Dmitriyevich), while on the other side, it features an image of a beast, which is believed to represent the coat of arms of the Grand Principality of Moscow. This blend of text and imagery reflects the cultural and historical significance of the coin and the region it comes from.
