Aversbeschreibung	Central field displays a stylized tamga or ornamental device enclosed within a beaded or rope-like inner circle, surrounded by an outer border bearing a Cyrillic or pseudo-Cyrillic legend running around the full periphery. The design is executed in low relief characteristic of hammered medieval Russian coinage, with irregular flan edges typical of the period. The central motif appears to incorporate a cross-like or geometric symbol within the roundel.

Reversbeschreibung	The reverse depicts a mounted warrior or princely figure on horseback, rendered in a schematic, flat style typical of early Russian medieval coinage. The rider appears to face right, with details of the horse and rider's posture visible despite the crude execution of the die engraving. Fragmentary Cyrillic or pseudo-Cyrillic lettering is present in the surrounding field and border, likely referencing the issuing prince Boris Konstantinovich. The flan is irregular and the strike is characteristically uneven, consistent with hammered coinage of the Nizhny Novgorod-Suzdal principality in the late fourteenth century.

Zusätzliche Informationen	Boris Konstantinovich seized the grand principality of Nizhny Novgorod in 1383 after his nephew Semyon Dmitrievich was driven out — a succession struggle settled not by arms alone but by a Mongol patent from Tokhtamysh, the Khan who had sacked Moscow just the previous year. Boris's coins belong to a moment when Russian princes were still minting under the direct shadow of Tatar overlordship, and several Nizhny Novgorod dengas from this period carry Tatar tamgas or Arabic inscriptions alongside Russian elements, reflecting that political dependency in metal.
