Interesting fact
The 10 Dengas coin from the Russian Empire, minted during the reign of Peter I (1701-1704), was made of silver with a purity level of .802. This means that the coin contains 80.2% silver and 19.8% other metals, which is a relatively high silver content compared to many other coins of its time. This high silver content, combined with its small weight of 1.4 grams, makes it a unique and valuable collector's item for numismatists.
