Interesting fact

The Trachy coin was issued during the reign of Ivan Alexander and Mikhail, who were co-rulers of the Second Bulgarian Empire from 1331 to 1355. This coin was a standard circulation coin made of copper and weighed 0.8 grams. What's interesting is that the coin features the image of both rulers on opposite sides, with Ivan Alexander on the obverse (front) side and Mikhail on the reverse (back) side. This unique design reflects the joint rule of the two monarchs during that time in Bulgarian history.
