Reverse description A falconer on horseback riding to the right occupies the central field, depicted in profile with a falcon perched upon his outstretched arm. The figure is rendered in a bold, linear style consistent with medieval Moscow die-cutting traditions. A Cyrillic legend reading 'Grand Prince Vasily' surrounds the equestrian motif, distributed around the periphery of the flan. The border consists of a dotted or linear rim, characteristic of the variable rim types documented for this issue. The overall composition is enclosed within the irregular contour of the hand-struck flan.
