==History== From the 14th century, the altyn had been in use in several Russian principalities as a Eurasian currency between Russian and Asian traders. Treaties between the principalities of Moscow, Ryazan and Tver show that the rate remained the same. One altyn was equal to six dengi, while one ruble was equal to 200 (in Moscow) or 220 (in Pskov) dengi. In the Sudebnik of 1497, one ruble was equal to 200 dengi, while one altyn was equal to six dengi.
