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 1446, but his reign was marked by struggles for power and territorial disputes with neighboring principalities. Despite these challenges, the coinage during his reign remained consistent, with the Denga coin being a standard denomination. The use of silver in the coin's minting also signifies the importance of this precious metal in the region's economy at the time.
