Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique combination of imagery and inscriptions that reflect the cultural and political influences of the time. The coin's obverse side features a depiction of Vasily I Dmitriyevich, the ruler of the Grand Principality of Moscow, while the reverse side features a falconer, which was a symbol of the Mongol Empire that had conquered much of Eastern Europe in the 13th century. The use of both Russian and Mongolian imagery and inscriptions on the coin highlights the complex political and cultural dynamics of the region during this period.
