Pulo - Vasily I Dmitriyevich Beast right / Dragon right

Vasily I ruled Moscow from 1389 to 1425, a period when the principality was still formally subordinate to the Golden Horde and minting small copper pulos alongside silver wire money to serve local market exchange. These fractional coppers circulated at the lowest rung of the monetary hierarchy — used for petty trade where silver denga were too valuable to break. The fantastical animal types on Moscow pulos of this period reflect Tatar artistic influence absorbed through decades of tribute payments and diplomatic contact with the Horde.
