Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Denga coin is that it was used as a form of currency during the reign of Ivan III, also known as Ivan the Great, who was the Grand Prince of Moscow from 1462 until his death in 1505. During his rule, Ivan III implemented a number of reforms, including the creation of a new monetary system, which led to the minting of the Denga coin. The coin was made of silver and weighed 0.39 grams, and it was used as a standard form of currency throughout the Grand Principality of Moscow.
