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 in medieval Russia. 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 at the time. This feature, combined with the bird motif on the other side, makes this coin a unique example of cultural exchange and artistic influence between different civilizations in the region.
