Comment
Note: should be moved to a separate category.Interesting fact
The Denga ND coin was used as a form of currency during the reign of Grand Prince Vasily II of Moscow, who ruled from 1425 to 1433. It was during his reign that the coin was minted in the city of Torzhok, which was an important trading center and minting facility in the Rus Principalities. The use of silver in the coin's composition was a significant departure from the previous coins that were made of copper or other base metals, and it reflected the growing wealth and influence of the Grand Principality of Moscow during this period.
