Interesting fact
The Denga coin , which was issued during the reign of Mikhail I (1613-1625) of the Russian Empire, was made of silver and weighed 0.24 grams. It's interesting to note that the Denga was the first decimal coinage introduced in Russia, and it was used as a standard unit of currency for over 200 years. Additionally, the coin's design featured the image of a horseman, which symbolized the power and strength of the Russian Empire at the time.
