Denga - Alexander Patrikeyevich

Obverse description	Pseudo-Arabic inscription filling the field in imitation of Mongol-Tatar coinage, rendered in a stylized, non-legible script that mimics the appearance of genuine Arabic lettering. A fragmentary trace of a Cyrillic inscription appears along the upper margin of the flan. The overall design reflects the common Rus' practice of imitating Jochid coinage during the late 14th century. The irregular flan exhibits a dotted border around the periphery. The engraving is crude and characteristic of hammered provincial Rus' silver coinage of this period.

Reverse description	Pseudo-Arabic inscription spread across the field in imitation of Golden Horde coinage, composed of non-legible, stylized characters that suggest but do not reproduce genuine Arabic script. A pseudo-AH date formula appears in the exergue, imitating the regnal or hijri date conventions of Jochid dirhams. The composition is arranged in horizontal registers across the flan. The irregular, roughly circular flan and crude strike are consistent with late 14th-century hammered Rus' silver coinage. A dotted or beaded border frames the design at the periphery.
