Vereya, Russian FederationComments
Mikhail Andreyevich, the younger son of Andrey Dmitriyevich, struck coins in his own domain, in Vereya. Coins of Mikhail, struck according to the weight standard used in 1435-1445 (0.51-0.52 grams) are very rare. It is possible that they were issued only for a short period of time, between the return of Vasily Vasiliyevich of Moscow to the throne in 1447 and until the abolition of the Mozhaysk Duchy in 1454, though Mikhail remained in control of Vereya even after 1454.
