Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Denga - Ivan III (Pskov) ND (1526-1530) coin is that it features a unique blend of Russian and Byzantine influences in its design. The coin's obverse side bears the image of Ivan III, also known as Ivan the Great, who was the Grand Prince of Moscow and the first ruler of the Grand Principality of Moscow. The reverse side of the coin features the image of a horseman, which is a common motif in Byzantine coinage, symbolizing the power and strength of the Moscow principality. This blend of design elements reflects the cultural exchange and influence that existed between Russia and Byzantium during this time period.
