Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Denga - Vasily III (Pskov) ND (1510-1533) coin is that it features a unique blend of Russian and Byzantine influences in its design. The coin's obverse side bears the image of Saint George slaying a dragon, a common motif in Byzantine coinage, while the reverse side features the image of Vasily III, the Grand Prince of Moscow, in a traditional Russian kaftan. This blending of styles reflects the cultural exchange and influence that occurred between Russia and Byzantium during this time period.
