Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Denga coin is that it was used as a form of currency during a time of great change and upheaval in Russia. Ivan III, also known as Ivan the Great, was the Grand Prince of Moscow during this time and implemented many reforms, including the creation of a new currency system. The Denga coin was introduced as a replacement for the older Mongolian-style coins and was used throughout the Grand Principality of Moscow. Despite its small weight, the coin played a significant role in the economy of the time and was an important symbol of the growing power and influence of Moscow.
