Comment
Boris of Tver or Boris the Great (ca. 1399–February 10, 1461) was a prince of Tver.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Denga coin is that it was issued during the reign of Boris Alexandrovich, who was the Grand Prince of Tver from 1425 to 1461. This coin was made of silver and weighed 0.61 grams, which was a significant amount for a circulating coin at that time. The fact that it was issued during Boris' reign suggests that he may have played an important role in the coin's design and production, and it could be a reflection of the economic and political conditions of the Grand Principality of Tver during that period.
