Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Denga coin is that it was issued during the reign of Fyodor I Ivanovich, who was the first Tsar of Russia to introduce a standardized system of coinage. Prior to his reign, the quality and weight of coins varied greatly, leading to confusion and difficulties in trade. Fyodor I Ivanovich's introduction of the Denga coin, which was made of silver and had a consistent weight and purity, helped to establish a stable and reliable currency system in Russia. This, in turn, contributed to the growth and development of the Russian economy during his reign.
