Imitation of Arabic legend with the name of Toktamysh Khan.

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an imitation of an Arabic legend, which was a unique feature for a coin minted in the Grand Principality of Moscow during the 15th century. This suggests that there was cultural exchange and influence from the Islamic world in Russia during that time period.
