In the catalog of Vladimir Nikolaevič Kleščinov, Igor Valerievič Grišin (2007) this type was classified as pre-reform Denga in the weight of polushka. Later researches classified this coin as a non-state mintage or counterfeit intended for circulation.

Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Denga - Ivan IV (non-state mintage) ND (1533-1535) coin from the Russian Empire 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 1533 to 1584. This coin was minted outside of the state mint, and its design and production were not regulated by the government, which makes it a unique and rare example of early Russian coinage.
