| Additional information |
Vasily Dmitrievich Kirdyapa ruled Nizhny Novgorod during one of the most turbulent handoffs in the principality's history — his father Dmitry Konstantinovich had spent decades maneuvering between Moscow and the Golden Horde, and Vasily inherited both the throne and that impossible balancing act. He spent years as a hostage in the Horde before returning to rule, a biographical detail that almost certainly shaped the coin's Tatar-derived tamga elements visible on issues of this type. The Grand Principality of Nizhny Novgorod was absorbed by Moscow in 1392, making this a terminal issue of an independent mint.
