| Reverse description | The reverse displays a multi-line Arabic inscription filling the entire field, executed in a stylized Naskh-influenced script characteristic of Russian imitative coinage derived from Tatar monetary traditions. The legend, while partially legible due to the irregular flan and worn strike, follows formulaic Arabic phrases common to appanage dengas of the late 14th century. The script is arranged in horizontal registers across the coin's surface, with decorative elements and dotted separators visible between lines. The overall design reflects the strong Tatar monetary influence prevalent in Muscovite and related principality coinage of this era. |

| Additional information |
Vladimir Andreevich of Serpukhov, known as "the Brave," minted his own coinage following the Battle of Kulikovo in 1380, where his flanking charge is credited with breaking the Mongol line and securing Dmitry Donskoy's victory. The right to strike independent coin was among the privileges he leveraged from that political capital. His issues are among the earliest dateable dengi from the appanage principalities surrounding Moscow, reflecting a brief window of minting autonomy before the region was absorbed into the expanding Muscovite state after his death in 1410.
