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 turmoil in the Grand Principality of Moscow. The coin was issued during the reign of Vasily I, who ruled from 1412 to 1423, a period marked by political instability and military conflicts with neighboring states. Despite these challenges, the coin remained a popular form of currency and a symbol of the principality's economic and political power.
