Interesting fact
The 1 Kopeck coin was minted during the reign of Empress Elizabeth, who was known for her extensive collection of coins and medals. In fact, she was so passionate about numismatics that she even established a special department at the Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg to house her collection. Today, the Hermitage Museum is home to one of the largest and most impressive numismatic collections in the world, with over 1 million coins and medals from various eras and cultures. It's fascinating to think that this coin, which was minted over 250 years ago, has survived to this day and is now a valuable piece of history that collectors and historians can appreciate.
