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 many reforms and military campaigns that helped to strengthen the Grand Principality of Moscow and lay the foundations for the future Russian state. The coin's design, featuring the letter "Д" (D) and a portrait of the prince, reflects the influence of Byzantine and Mongolian cultures on the art and architecture of medieval Russia.
