| Obverse description | A stylized beast depicted in profile facing right occupies the central field, rendered in the crude, schematic manner characteristic of early Muscovite wire money. Beneath the beast appears a roughly executed scorpion-like creature. A distorted Cyrillic legend, partially legible, runs counterclockwise around the periphery of the irregular flan. The overall design reflects the primitive die-cutting technique of late 14th-century Moscow coinage. |
