A high‑grade Russian silver denga struck under Tsar Ivan IV (“Ivan the Terrible”), who ruled from 1547 to 1584. Certified by NGC as AU58, this example displays crisp detail, clear device elements, and minimal high‑point rub — exceptional for a hammered silver issue of this era.

These small hammered silver dengas were produced one at a time using hand‑struck dies and irregular planchets, making well‑preserved examples increasingly desirable among collectors of early Russian coinage. This piece offers strong eye appeal and has been professionally authenticated and encapsulated by NGC for long‑term protection.

A standout addition to any collection of medieval/early modern Russia, hammered coinage, or world silver.
