| Obverse description | Imitation Arabic legend filling the entire field of the coin, rendered by a Muscovite die-cutter unfamiliar with the Arabic script, resulting in pseudo-Kufic or pseudo-Naskh characters that are decorative rather than meaningful. The design is enclosed within the irregular flan typical of hammered medieval Russian coinage. The overall arrangement loosely mirrors the calligraphic layout of contemporary Tatar Khan coinage, reflecting the political and monetary influence of the Golden Horde on early Muscovite currency. |
