Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Denga coin is that it was minted during the reign of Boris Alexandrovich, who was the Grand Prince of Tver from 1425 to 1461. This was a time of great political and economic change in the region, as the Grand Principality of Tver was one of several powerful states that emerged from the breakup of the Mongol Empire in the 14th century. The coin's silver content and relatively small weight suggest that it may have been used for everyday transactions, and its design may have reflected the cultural and artistic influences of the time.
