Comment
Ivan Andreevich (Mozhaiskiy, Starodubsky) (? - c. 1485) - the prince of Mozhaisk in 1432-1454, prince Starodubsky from 1454, the eldest son of prince Mozhaisk and Vereisk Andrei Dmitrievich, grandson of the Grand Duke of Moscow Dmitry Donskoy.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Denga coin is that it was used as a form of currency during the reign of Ivan Andreevich in the Principality of Mozhaysk, which was a small state in the Rus Principalities, a medieval state that existed in the 14th to 16th centuries. Despite its small size, the Principality of Mozhaysk was known for its rich agricultural land and its strategic location along trade routes, which made it an important center of commerce and trade. The use of the Denga coin as a form of currency during this time period highlights the importance of trade and commerce in the region and the need for a standardized form of currency to facilitate economic transactions.
