| Obverse description | A centaur depicted in right-facing profile, shown in motion with a sword raised, occupying the central field of the flan. The figure is rendered in the bold, schematic style characteristic of late 14th- to early 15th-century Russian hammered coinage. A Cyrillic border legend encircles the central device, partially legible due to the irregular flan. The overall composition reflects the Tatar-influenced artistic tradition of the appanage principalities. |

| Additional information |
Vladimir Andreevich of Serpukhov, known as "the Brave," was the cousin who fought alongside Dmitri Donskoi at Kulikovo in 1380 — commanding the ambush force whose surprise flank attack broke the Mongol line. His principality's coinage reflects the fractured sovereignty of the Moscow satellite princes in the decades after Kulikovo, when tributary obligations to the Horde were loosening but not yet gone. These dengas circulated in a polity caught between Moscow's growing dominance and its own residual independence.
Vladimir died in 1410, and the principality was absorbed into Moscow within a generation.
