Interesting fact
The Denga coin , which was issued during the reign of Peter I of Russia (1705-1718), was the first coin to feature the image of a Russian ruler. Prior to this, Russian coins had featured the image of the Russian eagle or other symbols, but not a portrait of the ruling monarch. This coin was a significant departure from previous Russian coinage and marked a new era in Russian numismatics.
