Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Denga ND (1420-1478) coin from Novgorod Republic (Rus Principalities) made of Silver is that it features a unique blend of Russian and Mongolian influences in its design. The coin's obverse side bears the image of a prince, likely representing the Novgorodian prince who issued the coin, while the reverse side features a stylized image of a Mongolian warrior on horseback, reflecting the influence of the Mongol Empire that had conquered much of Eastern Europe during that time. This blending of cultural elements is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the region and the complex historical context in which the coin was minted.
