Denga - Pyotr Dmitrievich ND

The Denga coin , which was issued during the reign of Pyotr Dmitrievich in the Principality of Dmitrov (Rus Principalities) in the early 15th century, features a unique design element that sets it apart from other coins of its time. The obverse side of the coin bears an image of a horseman holding a spear, which is believed to represent the prince himself. This design was likely inspired by the Byzantine Empire's coinage, which featured similar horseman imagery. This influence reflects the cultural and trade ties between the Rus Principalities and the Byzantine Empire during that period.
