Additional information

Vasily Dmitrievich ruled Nizhny Novgorod during one of the most politically unstable periods in northeastern Rus, when the principality was being steadily absorbed into the expanding Muscovite orbit. His coinage reflects this tension — the denga issues of the late 14th century frequently show strong Tatar tamgha influence on the design, a direct consequence of Golden Horde suzerainty and the practical need to produce currency acceptable to both Russian and Mongol commercial networks. The principality was formally annexed by Moscow in 1392, making this a terminal issue for an independent Nizhny Novgorod mint.
