Obverse lettering КНЯЗЬ ВЕЛИКИЙ ИВАН
Reverse description The reverse presents a multi-line Cyrillic inscription arranged in three or four horizontal lines across the irregular flan, reading the territorial designation of the issuing mint. The lettering is boldly struck in a primitive angular style typical of Pskovian denga coinage of the early 16th century. The characters fill the available field of the planchet, with the inscription serving as the primary design element without additional decorative motifs. The flat, uneven surface of the flan results in partial weakness at the margins, consistent with wire-money production techniques. The overall composition reflects the epigraphic tradition of Pskov mint issues under Muscovite authority.
