Interesting fact
The Denga coin , which was minted during the reign of Alexey Mikhailovich in the Russian Empire (1645-1676), was made of silver and weighed 0.23 grams. That's relatively small compared to modern-day coins, but it was a significant amount for its time. In fact, the Denga was the first Russian coin to be made of silver, and it was used as a standard unit of currency throughout the empire. Its design featured the image of the Russian emperor on one side and the coat of arms of Russia on the other. Despite its small size, the Denga played a big role in the economy of the Russian Empire and was used for everyday transactions.
