Interesting fact
The Denga coin was issued during the reign of Mikhail I, also known as Mikhail Romanov, who was the first Tsar of Russia and ruled from 1613 to 1625. He was the founder of the Romanov dynasty, which ruled Russia for over 300 years. The coin was minted in Moscow and was made of silver with a purity of .960, which means it contained 96% silver and 4% other metals. It weighed 0.21 grams and was a standard circulation coin during its time.
