Denga - Vasily Yaroslavich ND

One interesting fact about the Denga coin is that it was used as a form of currency in the Principality of Serpukhov-Borovsk, which was a small state that existed in the 14th to 16th centuries in the territory of modern-day Russia. Despite being a small state, the Principality of Serpukhov-Borovsk was able to issue its own coins, including the Denga, which was made of silver and featured an image of Vasily Yaroslavich, the ruler of the principality, on one side and a symbol of the principality on the other. This coin is a rare example of a silver coin issued by a small state during that time period and is highly sought after by collectors today.
