| Additional information |
Vasily Yurievich Shuisky ruled Nizhny Novgorod-Suzdal as a dependent prince under the shadow of Moscow's expanding authority — a principality already stripped of its independence once and only partially restored. These dengas were struck during one of the most turbulent periods of Muscovite dynastic conflict, the internecine war between Vasily II and his Galician cousins that periodically destabilized the entire northeastern Russian political order. Local minting here was always precarious, contingent on Moscow's tolerance.
The Nizhny Novgorod series from this decade is notoriously irregular in die execution, reflecting workshop conditions rather than any central mint infrastructure.
