Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Saint George slaying a dragon on one side, which was a common motif in medieval Russian coinage. The use of this image symbolized the victory of good over evil and was meant to convey the idea that the prince who issued the coin was a protector of his people and a defender of the faith.
