Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Denga coin is that it was used as a form of currency during the reign of Vasiliy III, who was the Grand Prince of Moscow from 1505 to 1533. During his rule, he implemented a number of economic reforms, including the introduction of a new monetary system that included the use of coins like the Denga. This coin was made of silver and weighed 0.39 grams, making it a valuable form of currency at the time. Despite its small size, the Denga played an important role in the economy of the Grand Principality of Moscow, and it remains an interesting piece of history for collectors and historians today.
