Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Denga coin is that it was used as a form of currency during a time of great cultural and economic change in Russia. The coin was minted during the reign of Ivan Vasilievich, who was the Grand Prince of Nizhny Novgorod-Suzdal from 1440 to 1447. This was a period of significant political and social upheaval, as the Rus Principalities were struggling to maintain their power and influence in the face of growing competition from neighboring states. Despite these challenges, the Denga coin remained a widely used and trusted form of currency, and its silver content made it a valuable commodity in trade and commerce.
