| Beschrijving voorzijde | Obverse bears a multi-line Cyrillic inscription arranged within the central field, reading КНѦ ЗЬ ВЕЛHИ Н (Grand Prince), enclosed within a circular border. The lettering is rendered in a characteristic early Muscovite hammered style, with angular, archaic Cyrillic characters typical of early 15th-century Russian coinage. The legend fills the flan in a stacked arrangement, with no figurative motif present on this side. The irregular flan, a hallmark of wire-money-era production, results in partially visible letters at the periphery. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Reverse depicts a two-faced Janus figure (bifrons), shown as a stylized human head with two faces oriented in opposite directions, rendered within a circular beaded or linear border. The design is executed in low relief in the crude but distinctive hammered technique of early Muscovite mints. The Janus motif on Muscovite dengas of this period is believed to derive from earlier Byzantine or steppe artistic influences. The field is otherwise plain, and the irregular flan edges are consistent with hand-cut silver wire planchets of the period. |
