Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Russian and Mongolian influences in its design. The Cyrillic legend on the coin is written in the Old Church Slavonic language, which was used in the Russian Orthodox Church during that time period, while the Hommage symbol on the coin is a nod to the Mongolian Empire, which had a significant impact on the Grand Principality of Moscow during the 14th and 15th centuries. This blending of cultural influences reflects the complex history and cultural exchange that took place during this time period in Russia.
