| Reverse description | An imitation of the Jochid dang reverse featuring the Shahada rendered in pseudo-Arabic script, reflecting the close commercial and political ties between the Grand Principality of Moscow and the Golden Horde. A longevity knot appears at the bottom of the field, and the design is enclosed within a decorative frame of eight arcs. The overall composition closely mimics Tatar prototypes, demonstrating the bilingual monetary tradition of early Muscovite coinage. |
