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. During his rule, the Principality of Tver experienced significant economic growth, and the Denga coin was an important symbol of this prosperity. The coin was made of silver, which was a valuable and sought-after metal at the time, and it featured an image of the Grand Prince on one side and the Tver coat of arms on the other. Despite being issued over 500 years ago, some of these coins have survived to this day and are highly prized by collectors and historians.
