Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of both Cyrillic and Latin legends, with the name "Vasily I Dmitriyevich" written in Cyrillic on one side and the title "Warrior right" in Latin on the other. This highlights the cultural and linguistic influences present in the Grand Principality of Moscow during the early 15th century.
