| Reverse description | Pseudo-Arabic legend filling the field in imitation of Jochid Tatar dang coinage, rendered by Muscovite die-cutters without genuine linguistic content. Longevity knots are incorporated into the design as decorative elements, echoing the arabesque ornamentation of the Golden Horde prototypes. The overall composition reflects the Muscovite practice of imitating Tatar monetary iconography to facilitate trade within the post-Golden Horde economic sphere. The strike is characteristically uneven on an irregular flan. |
