| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field depicts a bird in profile facing right, rendered in a bold, archaic style characteristic of early Muscovite coinage. The bird, likely a falcon or eagle serving as the dynastic emblem of the Grand Principality of Moscow, is shown with wings partially raised and tail feathers visible. A circular border frames the central device, with a Cyrillic legend running along the periphery reading ПЕЧАТЬ ВЕЛИКОГО КНЯЗЯ (Seal of the Grand Prince). The overall design is crudely but forcefully struck on an irregularly shaped copper flan, consistent with hammered pulo coinage of the period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Vasily I's pulos occupy a peculiar administrative niche: copper fractions circulating beneath the silver denga system, used for small transactions at a time when Moscow was still consolidating control over rival principalities and navigating tribute obligations to the Golden Horde. The Arabic legend here is not functional — it imitates Tatar script without conveying readable text, a holdover from decades of Mongol monetary influence on Rus coinage.
The practice of copying Horde inscriptions without understanding them had become purely conventional by the early fifteenth century, persisting on copper long after silver issues had abandoned the pretense.
