Interesting fact
The Denga coin , which features Vasily II the Blind, is a rare example of a coin that was issued by a blind ruler. Vasily II lost his sight in 1444, and yet he continued to rule the Grand Principality of Moscow until his death in 1460. Despite his disability, he was able to issue coins that bore his image, which is a testament to his resilience and determination as a leader.
