| Reverse description | Imitation of the Shahada inscription as found on Jochid dang reverses, rendered in a stylised and partially pseudo-Arabic manner, set within a frame of four arcs forming a quatrefoil border. A longevity knot decorates the lower portion of the field. The overall composition reflects the deliberate copying of Tatar monetary iconography, a common practice on early Moscow dengas intended to facilitate trade within the Golden Horde sphere of influence. |
