| Reverse description | Within a dotted border, a mounted falconer is depicted in right profile, seated on a horse in full stride. The rider holds a falcon upon his outstretched arm, a motif emblematic of princely authority and widely employed on Muscovite dengas of this period. The design is rendered in the bold, somewhat schematic style typical of hammered medieval Russian coinage, with details of the horse and rider crisply though roughly struck. The flat, irregular flan and the slightly off-centre strike are consistent with hand-hammered wire money production techniques of early 15th-century Moscow. |
