Interesting fact

The Denga coin , which features Dmitry Ivanovich Donskoy, was minted during a time of great change in the Grand Principality of Moscow. In the late 14th century, Moscow was facing threats from the Mongol Empire and the Teutonic Knights, and Donskoy played a key role in defending the principality against these threats. Despite these challenges, the coinage of Moscow during this period was known for its high quality and beauty, and the Denga coin is a prime example of this. It's a testament to the skill and craftsmanship of the medieval Russian mint.
