Interesting fact
The Denga coin , which was issued during the reign of Mikhail Borisovich (1461-1485) in the Grand Principality of Tver, features a unique design element that sets it apart from other coins of the time. The coin's obverse (front side) features a depiction of the prince holding a scepter and wearing a crown, while the reverse (back side) features an image of a horseman riding a horse and carrying a banner.
