Additional information

Vasily I ruled Moscow from 1389 to 1425, navigating the competing pressures of a weakened Golden Horde and an expansionist Lithuania under Vytautas. His dengas occupy an awkward transitional moment in Muscovite coinage: Moscow had only begun striking its own silver within his father Dmitry Donskoy's reign, and the designs of these early issues were still heavily influenced by Tatar prototypes, a political pragmatism as much as an artistic one. The Horde's own coinage provided the template precisely because Muscovite princes remained, nominally, its tributaries.
