| Reverse description | The reverse bears a multi-line Cyrillic inscription filling the field, reading the title and name of the issuing prince in four lines. The legend is set within a dotted border that frames the entire inscription, consistent with the hammered wire-money technique typical of medieval Muscovite dengas. The lettering is boldly struck in the angular Cyrillic hand of the early fifteenth century. |
