Notes | This is a coin from Novgorod, one of the oldest cities in Russia. Novgorod was a very important, prosperous trading and cultural centre in mediaeval times. It was a republic ruled by an assembly which elected princes with military and judicial powers.The image on the coin represents the prince of Novgorod. This coin comes from just before the period before the other principalities were conquered by the rulers of Moscow. | Ian Donal Finney Bequest, 1993. |
