Interesting fact
The Denga coin , which was issued during the reign of Ivan IV (also known as Ivan the Terrible) in the 16th century, was the first silver coin to be minted in Russia. Prior to this, the country had primarily used copper coins. The introduction of silver coins marked a significant shift in Russia's monetary system and paved the way for the use of silver as a standard currency in the country.
