| Reverse description | A boldly rendered two-headed eagle depicted with both heads facing outward in opposite directions, the necks joined at a central body shown en face with spread wings filling the field. The plumage is rendered with stylised feather detailing, with the tail feathers displayed in a fan arrangement at the lower portion of the design. The motif is characteristically derived from earlier Anatolian Seljuk and Byzantine heraldic traditions adopted by the Golden Horde for its pul coinage, executed in a somewhat schematic, heavily stylised manner consistent with hammered copper issues of the mid-14th century. |
