Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Half-denga coin featuring Vasily I Dmitriyevich is that it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in the Grand Principality of Moscow. The coin was minted between 1390 and 1410, a period marked by political instability and conflict, including the struggle for power between Vasily I and his uncle, Yury of Zvenigorod. Despite these challenges, the coin remains a testament to the enduring legacy of the Grand Principality of Moscow and its influence on the development of Russian culture and history.
