Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an imitation of an Arabic legend on one side, which was a common practice among Russian coins of the time. This imitation of Arabic script was used to convey the idea of the coin's value and authenticity, as Arabic was considered a language of trade and commerce. This feature, along with the bird image on the other side, makes this coin a unique representation of the cultural exchange and influences that were present in medieval Russia.
