Interesting fact
The Denga coin , which was issued during the reign of Ivan IV (also known as Ivan the Terrible) in the 16th century, features an image of the Russian tsar on one side and an image of the Archangel Michael on the other. This coin was significant because it was the first time that a Russian monarch had appeared on a coin, signifying the growing power and influence of the Russian Empire at the time.
