| Obverse description | Central rectangular panel with black enamel background depicting a rearing horse in high relief against a stylised mountain landscape with clouds, rendered in a Chinese decorative artistic style. To the left of the central panel, a Chinese character for 'horse' (馬) is incused within a square cartouche set against a textured scale-pattern field; to the right, the Cyrillic date '2014' is similarly presented. Designer monograms appear at the lower left and lower right of the central panel. The inscription '1 OZ Ag 925' is engraved along the lower portion of the coin, denoting the silver content and fineness. The outer border of the coin features a continuous scale or wave pattern in relief. |

| Additional information |
The denga was a medieval Russian silver coin whose name almost certainly derives from the Mongol word "tenge" — a direct linguistic residue of the Golden Horde's domination over Rus principalities from the 13th century onward. The original Moscow denga, struck from the late 14th century, was produced by folding silver wire and hammering it flat, resulting in irregular oval flans nothing like this piece.
MasterVision's restrike series uses historical denominations as nominal framing for bullion-adjacent collectibles. The Horse designation follows the 60-year Chinese sexagenary cycle, placing this issue in the lunar year beginning January 31, 2014.
