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 0.63 grams, which was a significant amount for a coin at that time. Additionally, the coin features an interesting design, with an image of the prince on one side and an image of a horseman on the other. The coin was likely used for everyday transactions and was an important part of the economy of the Grand Principality of Tver.
