Interesting fact

The Denga coin , which features Vasily II the Blind, is a rare example of a coin that was issued during a time of great turmoil in Russia. The coin was minted during the reign of Vasily II, who was the Grand Prince of Moscow from 1425 to 1433. This was a period of political instability and conflict, as the Grand Principality of Moscow was facing threats from neighboring states and internal power struggles. Despite these challenges, the coinage of Vasily II's reign is notable for its high quality and artistic beauty, with intricate designs and detailed engravings. The fact that this coin has survived to the present day is a testament to the skill and craftsmanship of the medieval Russian mint masters who created it.
