Comment
Peter the Great ruled the Tsardom of Russia and later the Russian Empire from 1682 until 1725. In many successful wars he expanded the Tsardom into a huge empire that became a major European power. In 1703 Peter gave the order to start building the Peter and Paul Fortress. The fortress was destined to turn into the second “northern” capital of Russia, - the great city of Saint Petersburg. It was declared the capital of the country in 1712 and remained so until the beginning of the twentieth century.Interesting fact
The 1 Dollar - Elizabeth II (Peter the Great) 2013 coin from the British Virgin Islands features a unique design that showcases a portrait of Peter the Great, a Russian tsar who ruled from 1682 to 1725, on the obverse side, while the reverse side features a depiction of the British Virgin Islands' coat of arms. This coin is interesting because it highlights the historical connection between the British Virgin Islands and Russia, as Peter the Great was known for his efforts to modernize Russia and establish trade relationships with other countries, including the British Virgin Islands.
