Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Denga - Ivan IV (Tver) ND (1538-1547) coin is that it features a unique design element - a small crescent moon and stars on the reverse side, which was a departure from the traditional Orthodox Christian imagery found on other Russian coins of the time. This design element has led some numismatists to speculate that the coin may have been minted specifically for use in Muslim regions of the Russian Empire.
