| Additional information |
Boris Konstantinovich seized the grand principality of Nizhny Novgorod in 1383 after his nephew Semyon Dmitrievich was driven out — a succession struggle settled not by arms alone but by a Mongol patent from Tokhtamysh, the Khan who had sacked Moscow just the previous year. Boris's coins belong to a moment when Russian princes were still minting under the direct shadow of Tatar overlordship, and several Nizhny Novgorod dengas from this period carry Tatar tamgas or Arabic inscriptions alongside Russian elements, reflecting that political dependency in metal.
