Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Denga coin is that it was used as a form of currency in the Principality of Rostov, which was a medieval state that existed in the 14th century in the territory of modern-day Russia. The coin was made of silver and had a unique design, featuring the image of Andrei Fedorovich / Andrei Alexandrovich, the ruler of the principality at the time. The use of silver in the coin's production was significant because it was a valuable and durable metal that was widely accepted as a medium of exchange in trade and commerce. The fact that the coin was used in the Principality of Rostov highlights the importance of this region in the history of Russia and the development of its monetary system.
