One interesting fact about the Denga coin is that it was used as a form of currency in the Grand Principality of Nizhny Novgorod-Suzdal during the reign of Boris Konstantinovich in the late 14th century. Despite being made of silver, the coin was not widely accepted outside of the principality, and its value was not consistent with other coins used in neighboring regions. This highlights the diversity and complexity of currency systems during that time period in Eastern Europe.
