Interesting fact
The 1 Denga coin from the Russian Empire, minted between 1797 and 1798, features an image of Emperor Paul I (Pavel I) on one side and the Russian coat of arms on the other. This coin was made of copper and weighed 5.12 grams. Interestingly, the coin was minted during a time of economic turmoil in Russia, and its value was repeatedly reduced during Paul I's reign, leading to widespread dissatisfaction among the population. Despite this, the coin remains a valuable collector's item for numismatists today.
