Historical informations

Yaroslav I, Grand Prince of Rus’, known as Yaroslav the Wise or Iaroslav the Wise.
He ruled Kiev from 1019 to 1054. He arranged brilliant diplomatic marriages for his daughters: one became the queen of Hungary; another became queen of France; and a third became queen of Norway.
Yaroslav’s coins are much better made and appear to be of better metal than other issues of Kievan Rus’. The obverse design is a bust of St. George, copied from a Byzantine seal. The reverse bears a version of the dynastic emblem and the inscription “Yaroslav’s silver”.
