Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique combination of two rulers, Vasiliy III and Ivan IV, on opposite sides. This was a common practice during the time period, known as "double-headed" coins, and was used to symbolize the unity of the two rulers and their shared power.
