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 Virgin Mary on the other. This was a common design feature of Russian coins during this period, as the tsars saw themselves as the protector of the Orthodox Church and sought to emphasize their religious role. The coin's silver content and relatively small weight also reflect the economic and monetary policies of the Russian Empire during this time, which was characterized by a lack of standardization and widespread use of silver and copper coins.
