Interesting fact
The Pulo coin was issued during the reign of Ivan Ivanovich, who was the Grand Prince of Tver from 1485 to 1490. What's interesting about this coin is that it was made of copper, which was a common material for coins at that time. However, the Pulo coin was unique in that it had a distinctive square shape, unlike other coins of the time which were typically round. This square shape made it easier for people to tell the coin apart from other coins in circulation, and it became a distinctive feature of the Grand Principality of Tver's currency.
