Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Denga 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. Despite his notorious reputation for brutality and oppression, Ivan IV's reign saw significant reforms and modernizations in Russia, including the introduction of a new monetary system that included the Denga coin.
