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 part of a series of coins that were minted to celebrate the coronation of Ivan IV as the Tsar of Russia. The coin features an image of Ivan IV on one side and the Moscow Kremlin on the other, and it was made of silver, which was a valuable and prestigious metal at the time. Despite its small weight of 0.34 grams, the coin was an important symbol of the Russian Empire's power and influence during this period.
