Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Denga - Ivan IV ND (1535-1547) coin is that it was minted during the reign of Ivan IV, also known as Ivan the Terrible, who was the first Tsar of Russia and ruled from 1547 to 1584. This coin was part of a series of coins minted during his reign, which were designed to promote his image as a powerful and authoritarian leader. The coin's design features a portrait of Ivan IV on one side and an image of the Russian coat of arms on the other.
