| Reverse description | Irregular flan with a bold Cyrillic inscription filling the field in three to four lines, consistent with the standard reverse type of Novgorod dengas struck under Ivan III. The legend proclaims the sovereign's title as ruler of all Rus, rendered in the abbreviated chancellery script typical of late 15th-century Muscovite coinage. Dot punctuation marks separate the abbreviated words, and the letters are boldly engraved with slightly uneven depth, reflecting the hand-hammered production method. The flan edges are ragged and uneven, characteristic of wire-cut planchets of this series. |
