Interesting fact
The Denga coin , which was minted during the reign of Yuri Dmitrievich (1433-1434) in the Grand Principality of Moscow, is considered to be one of the earliest examples of a silver coinage system in Russia. The use of silver in coinage was a significant innovation at the time, as most coins were previously made of copper or other base metals. The introduction of silver coins helped to establish Moscow as a major economic power and paved the way for the development of more advanced monetary systems in the region.
