| Obverse description | Cyrillic legend arranged across the field in multiple lines, reading the titulature of Grand Prince Vasily. The inscription is interspersed with pellets serving as decorative dividers. The lettering is characteristic of early 15th-century Muscovite wire money production, with irregular hand-punched characters typical of hammered coinage of the period. |

| Reverse description | A warrior striding to the left, brandishing a sabre and carrying an axe. Behind the warrior appears a longevity knot (a decorative Tatar-influenced motif), while a guise or mask-like ornamental element is positioned before him. The design reflects the strong Mongol-Tatar artistic influence prevalent on Muscovite coinage of the early 15th century, rendered in a crude but vigorous style characteristic of hammered wire-cut dengas. |
