| Beschrijving keerzijde | Imitation of a Golden Horde dang of Uzbek Khan from the Saray mint, featuring a stylized rendering of the Islamic shahada (profession of faith) arranged in horizontal lines within a rectangular cartouche. The second line of the inscription contains a single lattice or geometric ornament in place of legible Arabic text, a characteristic feature of Muscovite imitative coinage that faithfully copied surface design without accurate reproduction of the Arabic script. The field surrounding the cartouche displays additional pseudo-Arabic or geometric decorative elements derived from the Golden Horde prototype. The overall execution is bold but deliberately schematic, serving commercial rather than epigraphic purposes. |

Produced at the very moment Dmitry Donskoy's victory at Kulikovo Field in 1380 was still fresh but Mongol political dominance remained real enough to require diplomatic performance, these Moscow dengas deliberately mimicked Golden Horde coinage in both style and script. The imitation was not confusion — it was policy. Muscovite coins carrying Tatar-looking legends circulated across a trade zone where Horde currency still commanded authority.
The "1/2 denga" classification reflects the weight reduction already underway in Moscow's nascent silver coinage system within a year of the type's introduction.
