Interesting fact
The 1 Kopeck coin was the first coin to feature a Cyrillic inscription, which was a significant departure from the traditional Latin script used on previous Russian coins. This change was made to promote the use of the Cyrillic alphabet, which was seen as a symbol of Russian culture and identity. The Cyrillic inscription on the coin reads "Елисавета" (Elizaveta), which means "Elizabeth" in Russian, and refers to Empress Elizabeth, who ruled Russia from 1741 to 1762.
