Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Denga coin is that it was used as a form of currency in the Grand Principality of Moscow during the reign of Vasily I Dmitriyevich in the early 15th century. Despite being made of silver, the coin was not valued for its precious metal content, but rather for its utility as a medium of exchange. This highlights the importance of currency as a tool for facilitating economic transactions, even in the absence of intrinsic value.
