Vasily I ruled Moscow from 1389 to 1425, spending much of that reign navigating a precarious relationship with the Golden Horde. The "Hommage" designation on this type refers to the tribute imagery derived from Tatar prototypes — Moscow's moneyers during this period routinely copied or adapted Horde designs as a political gesture toward their overlords, embedding submission directly into the coinage. By the early 1420s that practice was already declining as Mongol authority fragmented.
HP II#1515 places this among the better-documented Vasily I dengas, though die-link studies remain incomplete for most Moscow issues of this decade.
