| Beschrijving keerzijde | Imitation Arabic legend filling the field in a multi-line arrangement, composed of pseudo-Kufic or pseudo-Naskh characters that mimic the Tatar Khan inscriptions found on contemporary Golden Horde coinage. The characters, while stylistically resembling Arabic script, are not linguistically coherent and serve as a decorative imitation rather than a readable text. Several vertical strokes and dot-like pellets are arranged in horizontal registers across the flan. The relief is shallow and uneven, consistent with the hammered wire technique used for this series. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Vasily I inherited Moscow's minting apparatus from his father Dmitry Donskoy, who had introduced coinage partly to assert independence from the Golden Horde — yet the Arabic inscriptions on these dengas were never meant to be read. They imitate Horde legends closely enough to signal legitimacy within a Tatar-influenced monetary zone, while meaning nothing grammatically. The borrowing was political theater pressed in silver.
