Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Denga coin featuring Vasily II the Blind is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in the Grand Principality of Moscow. Vasily II ascended to the throne in 1428, but his reign was marked by struggles for power and territorial disputes with neighboring principalities. Despite these challenges, the coinage during his reign continued to be minted in silver, indicating the importance of trade and commerce during this period.
