| 裏面の説明 |
The reverse presents a simplified Arabic inscription in Kufic script, arranged within a square cartouche or frame that subdivides the field into registers, a layout directly derived from contemporary Mongol-Tatar coinage of the Golden Horde. The legend, heavily distorted and abbreviated by the Muscovite die-cutter, references Sultan Toktamysh Khan. The geometric compartmentalization of the script gives the reverse a highly stylized, almost abstract appearance. This imitative design reflects the political and commercial relationship between the Muscovite principality and the Golden Horde during the reign of Vasily I. |
