| Reverse description | A pseudo-Arabic or imitative Tatar legend fills the entire field of the coin, consisting of stylized script elements derived from the Arabic lettering used on contemporaneous Golden Horde coinage. The characters, though non-legible as authentic Arabic text, are arranged in a fashion imitating the formal layout of Tatar monetary inscriptions. The design reflects the political and cultural influence of the Golden Horde over the Muscovite principality during this period. The flan is irregular and typical of hand-struck wire-money production. |
