Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Denga coin is that it was used as a form of currency in the Grand Principality of Ryazan, which was a medieval state that existed from the 12th to the 16th century in the territory of modern-day Russia. The coin was made of silver and weighed 1.1 grams, which was a significant amount for a coin at that time. The fact that it was used in the Grand Principality of Ryazan suggests that the region had a strong economy and trade network, and the use of a standardized currency like the Denga coin would have facilitated transactions and commerce.
