Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Half-denga coin with Vasily I Dmitriyevich (Letter Д / Head right) ND (1412-1423) from the Grand Principality of Moscow (Rus Principalities) made of Silver is that it was used as a form of currency during a time of great cultural and economic change in Russia. The coin was minted during the reign of Vasily I Dmitriyevich, who was the Grand Prince of Moscow from 1380 to 1425, and it features an image of him on one side and the letter "Д" (D) on the other. This coin was used for everyday transactions and was an important part of the economy of the time. Despite being made of silver, the coin was not worth a significant amount of money, with its value being equivalent to about 1/200th of a ruble. Today, however, this coin is highly sought after by collectors and can sell for thousands of dollars at auction.
