Dear Numista team,
I would to request a modification to a name of an issuer “Principality of Mikulino” under the grouping of Rus Principalities.
The correct name of this feudal duchy is Principality of Mikulin.
Mikulin was the historic name of the town which was the main seat of the principality. Today, at this location, there exists a village of Mikulino, however, it's name transformed to Mikulino (via Mikulino Gorodishche) at a much later time.
At the time of the existence of the principality the city was named Mikulin, therefore the correct name of the Duchy is “Principality of Mikulin”.
