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 regions. Despite these challenges, the coinage during his reign, including the Denga, remained consistent in its design and quality, showcasing the resilience and stability of the Moscow Principality's economy during this period.
