Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of Russian and Mongolian influences in its design. The coin's obverse side features a Cyrillic legend and a warrior image, which reflects the Russian cultural heritage, while the reverse side bears a Mongolian-style legend and a stylized image of a horse, which symbolizes the Mongolian Empire's influence on the Grand Principality of Moscow during that time. This blending of cultural elements is a testament to the rich history and cultural exchange that took place during the period.
