Reverse description A crude imitation of the obverse of the dang of Tokhtamysh Khan, featuring schematically rendered pseudo-Arabic script arranged in multiple registers across the field. The legend is illegible and does not constitute authentic Arabic text, but mimics the general layout and decorative character of Tatar monetary inscriptions. The die-cutting is rough and the individual letter forms are heavily stylized, reflecting the limited familiarity of the Muscovite die-cutter with Arabic script. The overall composition fills the irregularly struck flan, consistent with the utilitarian character of small copper pulo coinage.
