| Obverse description | Depiction of the legendary ascension of Alexander the Great, shown being borne aloft by two griffins in a dynamic composition. The fantastical scene, a common motif borrowed from Byzantine and Mongol artistic traditions, fills the irregular flan in a crude but vigorous hammered style. The figures are rendered in low relief with simplified, stylised forms typical of medieval Russian coinage. |
