Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an imitation of the Arabic legend on one side, which was a unique feature for a coin issued by the Grand Principality of Moscow during that time period. This suggests that the coin may have been influenced by Islamic culture, which was prevalent in some parts of Russia during the 15th century.
