The name of one of the most ancient Moscow coins — «denga» — an equal two-hundredth part of rouble, occurs from the Tatar silver coin «tanga». The ancient Russian monetary unit a three-copecks piece also is obliged by the name to Tatars, in Tatar «alti» means «six». To 6 money it is primary 1 altin was equal.

The name altin is borrowed from Tatar on which by this word it was designated gold dinar… The First mention of altin in Russian sources is known under the contract of 1375 of grand duke Moscow Dmitry Ivanovich with the Tver prince Michael Aleksandrovich, simultaneously with renewal of Russian stamping and occurrence of denga… There is no doubt in relationship old Tatar denke… And Russian denga (the writing denga has appeared only since the XVIII-th century)… Thus, altin (as well as denga) has been transferred from the Tatar monetary terms.

On one party of the first money of the Moscow princedom Dmitry’s name Don is written in Russian, but on other party there is the Tatar inscription which has held a firm place enough on early coins of many releases both in Moscow with its destinies, and in the princedoms located to the east…

The Tatar inscriptions on early Russian bilingual coins in the past were considered as result of tributary relations.
