| Reverse description | The reverse bears a multi-line Arabic inscription filling the field, a characteristic feature of early Muscovite dengas struck in imitation of or acknowledgment of Golden Horde monetary authority. The legend references Sultan Toktamysh Khan, reflecting the political relationship between the Grand Principality of Moscow and the Tatar overlords of the period. The script is neatly arranged across the flan, with no additional decorative elements. The flan is irregular in shape, consistent with wire-cut hammered technique. |
