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 significant because it was the first time that a Russian coin featured the image of a ruler, and it marked a shift in the design of Russian coins towards more secular imagery. Prior to this, Russian coins had typically featured religious symbols and imagery.
