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
The Denga coin , which was issued during the reign of Ivan Andreevich (1432-1454) in the Principality of Mozhaysk, is considered to be one of the earliest examples of a silver coin issued by a Russian prince. The use of silver in coinage was a significant innovation at the time, as most coins were previously made of copper or other base metals. The introduction of silver coins helped to establish the Principality of Mozhaysk as a major economic power in the region and paved the way for the development of more advanced monetary systems in Russia.
