Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Vasily I Dmitriyevich, who was the Grand Prince of Moscow from 1380 to 1425. During his rule, he implemented several reforms, including the creation of a new monetary system, which led to the minting of this coin. The coin's design features the Cyrillic legend and the image of the ruler on the obverse side, which was a common feature of coins during that time period. Additionally, the coin was made of silver, which was a valuable and widely used metal for coinage in medieval Europe.
