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 political upheaval in the Grand Principality of Moscow. The coin was minted between 1412 and 1414, a period marked by the struggle for power between Vasily I and his uncle, Yuri of Zvenigorod. Despite this turmoil, the coin remained a standard circulation coin and was widely used throughout the region.
