| Reverse description | Central field features a stylized bird motif, likely a falcon or eagle rendered in the schematic linear manner characteristic of mid-15th century Muscovite hammered coinage. The bird is depicted facing with wings partially extended, surrounded by a border of pellets distributed across the irregular flan. A Cyrillic inscription in the field reads ОСПДРЬ ВСЕЯ РУСИ, proclaiming the title 'Sovereign of All Rus'. The overall execution is typical of the wire-money (cheshuitsa) tradition, struck on a roughly oval planchet with characteristic surface irregularities from the hammering process. |
