Reverse description Central field bears a mirrored imitation of the Shahada, copied from the reverse of Jochid dang coinage and deliberately rendered in mirror image, reflecting the Muscovite practice of imitating Golden Horde monetary types. A longevity knot device is positioned at the base of the field. The entire design is enclosed within a border of raised pellets. The die is noted to have been shared with an Oka region bilateral imitation (HP II, 5215 F), indicating workshop die-sharing practices common among early Moscow mints.
