| Reverse description | Central device consisting of a stylized trident-like or cross-within-square motif, reminiscent of the Rurikid dynastic symbol, rendered in low relief with pellet ornaments flanking the main design. Two schematic human or anthropomorphic figures appear to either side of the central emblem, a composition linked to the heraldic vocabulary of the Gediminid-Rurikid princes of Kiev. The flat, broad field surrounding the device is largely plain, with the irregular hammered flan edge visible. The design is characteristic of the Kiev denga series attributed to Vladimir Olgerdovich, blending local dynastic symbolism with broader Ruthenian coinage conventions of the 1390s. |

| Additional information |
Vladimir Olgerdovich ruled Kiev as a Lithuanian prince until Vytautas the Great forced his removal in 1394, installing a direct governor and effectively ending Kiev's semi-autonomous status under the Grand Duchy. These dengas belong to the very close of his tenure — likely struck in the final months before dispossession, which explains both the narrow date window and the extreme lightness of the flan relative to earlier Kievan issues.
