Bitkin# 1393-1418Interesting fact
The Denga coin , which features Peter I (also known as Peter the Great) and was minted in 1700, was part of a series of coins issued during his reign to promote trade and commerce in the Russian Empire. This coin, in particular, was designed to be a more portable and convenient alternative to the larger silver coins that were previously used for everyday transactions. The use of copper for this coin was a deliberate choice, as it was a more affordable and accessible material than silver, making it easier for people to use in their daily lives. This coin is a great example of how currency can be used not only as a medium of exchange but also as a tool for promoting economic growth and development.
