Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Grand Prince Vasily I of Moscow, who ruled from 1380 to 1425. During his reign, the Grand Principality of Moscow expanded its territories and strengthened its economy, which led to the introduction of new coinage, such as the ½ Denga. The coin's design features the prince's name and title on one side and a cross on the other, symbolizing the prince's commitment to Christianity and his authority as a ruler.
