Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the image of a horseman on one side and the Shahada, or Islamic declaration of faith, on the other. This combination of Christian and Islamic symbols reflects the cultural and religious diversity of the Grand Principality of Moscow during the reign of Vasily I Dmitriyevich.
