Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features two different rulers on opposite sides. The obverse side bears the image of Vasiliy III, while the reverse side features Ivan IV (also known as Ivan the Terrible). This unique design reflects the political situation of the time, as Ivan IV was the son of Vasiliy III and succeeded him as the ruler of the Grand Principality of Moscow. This coin provides a fascinating glimpse into the history of Russia and the evolution of its currency.
