Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Pulo - Vasiliy III (Tver) ND (1490-1505) coin from the Grand Principality of Moscow (Rus Principalities) made of Copper is that it features a unique blend of Russian and Mongolian influences in its design. The coin's obverse side bears the image of Prince Vasiliy III, while the reverse side features a stylized representation of the Moscow Kremlin, which was built during the reign of Ivan III (also known as Ivan the Great). This blend of Russian and Mongolian elements reflects the complex cultural and political dynamics of the time, when the Grand Principality of Moscow was seeking to assert its independence from the Golden Horde, a Mongol khanate that had dominated much of Eastern Europe and Central Asia for centuries.
