Definition

• A Russian copper coin, issued as early as the reign of Vasili Vasilievileh (1425-1462). It is quite common up to the period of Ivan III (1682-1689), and was struck for Twer, Kaschin, Kiev, etc. The name is sometimes written Poul, and the plural is Pouli or Puli. In the Geor- gian series ten Phouli were equal to one Kopeck. The coinage of these pieces ceased in 1810. See Abbasi, and Kashegi.

  In the modern Persian series the Pul is an insignificant copper coin, the fortieth part of a Kran.
