Interesting fact
The Polushka coin from the Pskov Republic (Rus Principalities) is interesting because it was used as a form of currency during a time of great cultural and economic change in Russia. The coin was minted during the reign of Grand Prince Ivan III (1462-1505), who implemented reforms that helped to centralize power and modernize the Russian state. The use of silver in the coin's production also reflects the importance of this precious metal in Russian trade and commerce during this period.
