附加信息	The srebrennik was introduced by Vladimir Sviatoslavich following his conversion to Christianity in 988 and subsequent political alliance with Byzantium — the coins were almost certainly modeled on Byzantine miliaresia, an explicit statement of dynastic legitimacy at a moment when Vladimir needed both foreign credibility and domestic authority. Minting on any scale was new to Rus; there was no established silversmithing infrastructure for coinage, and the earliest dies show it. Surviving examples are exceptionally rare. Total known specimens across all four srebrennik types number in the hundreds, not thousands.
