Imitation of Arabic legend.
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an imitation Arabic legend on its reverse side, which was a common practice among Russian coins during that time period. This imitation of Arabic script was used to convey the idea of Moscow's connection to the larger Islamic world and to emphasize the city's importance as a center of trade and culture.
