Interesting fact
The Denga coin , which was issued during the reign of Ivan IV (also known as Ivan the Terrible) in the 16th century, features an image of the Russian tsar on one side and an image of the Moscow Kremlin on the other. This coin was an important part of the currency reform implemented by Ivan IV, who sought to standardize the currency and promote trade throughout the Russian Empire. Despite its small weight, the coin was valued at 1/200th of a ruble, which was a significant amount at the time.
