Interesting fact
The Denga coin , which was minted during the reign of Daniil Borisovich (1426-1429) in the Grand Principality of Nizhny Novgorod-Suzdal, features an unusual design element - a small cross symbol located above the prince's head. This cross is believed to represent the Christian faith, which was becoming increasingly influential in medieval Russia during this time period. The inclusion of this symbol on the coin may have been a deliberate choice made by the mint masters or the prince himself, reflecting the growing importance of Christianity in the region.
