Nowgrote Publique Deposited
The name given to the Denga struck in Novgorod in the four- teenth century, and valued at two Dengui at Moskow. See Chaudoir (p. 116). This is the money referred to by John Hasse, in The Coines Weights and Meas- ures, used in Russia, 1554, Hakluyt, Prin- cipal Navigations, London, 1589 (p. 293), as follows: "Of silver coines there be these sortes of pieces. The least is a Poldenga, the second a Denga, the third a Nowgrote, which is as much to say in English, a half penie, a penie, and two pence."
