| Reverse description | A pseudo-Arabic or imitation Kufic legend fills the entire reverse field, consisting of flowing cursive strokes and pellets arranged to simulate Tatar script, a convention widely employed on early Muscovite dengas reflecting the political and monetary influence of the Golden Horde. The inscription is non-legible as genuine Arabic and serves purely as a decorative imitation. The die-struck surface is irregular and slightly flan-cracked, consistent with hammered wire-money production of the period. |
