| Obverse lettering | KNѦZЬ ВЕЛН КI ВАС (Translation: Grand Prince Vasily) |
| Reverse description | Irregular silver flan bearing a Cyrillic inscription arranged across the field, reading KNѦZЬ ВЕЛИКИ ВАСИЛЕ, designating Grand Prince Vasily in fuller form. The reverse appears to depict a stylised figure, likely a seated or standing prince or warrior, rendered in the crude, low-relief manner typical of mid-15th century Muscovite wire money. The flan edges are uneven and jagged, a natural consequence of the wire-cut production technique. The overall strike is shallow with moderate die wear, and the design shows the characteristic artistic conventions of pre-Muscovite reform coinage. |
