Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Ivan IV, also known as Ivan the Terrible, who was the first Tsar of Russia and ruled from 1547 to 1584. This coin was minted in Novgorod, which was an important city in the Russian Empire at the time. The coin's design features the image of Ivan IV on one side and the Novgorod coat of arms on the other. The use of silver in the coin's minting was a significant departure from the previous copper coins that were used in the empire, and it marked a shift towards the use of more valuable metals in Russian coinage.
