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 currency system that included the Denga coin. The coin was made of silver and weighed 0.39 grams, making it a valuable and reliable form of currency for the time period. Despite its small size, the Denga coin played an important role in the economy of the Grand Principality of Moscow and was widely used for trade and commerce.
