Reverse description A warrior striding or standing to the right, depicted holding an axe and a sabre in a dynamic pose characteristic of early Moscow denga iconography. A trefoil ornament appears above the figure, serving as an intentional imitation of the Nizhni Novgorod denga motif. The design is executed in the crude, high-relief hammered style of early 15th-century Russian coinage, with the figure contained within a beaded or linear border.
