Comment
Http://silver-copeck.ru/8015/001.htmlEarlier (in the catalog of I.V. Grishin, V. N. Kleshchinov; 2007) this type was defined as a counterfeit intended for circulation, while more modern opinion (catalog of I.V. Grishin, V. N. Kleshchinov, A. V. Khramenkov; 2015) is that it was a secret State issue of the Yaroslavl mint which was used for additional profit of the State because these Kopecks have lower weight and fineness
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Kopeck coin from the Russian Empire is that it was minted during the reign of Mikhail I, who was the first Tsar of Russia and ruled from 1613 to 1645. This coin was minted at the Yaroslavl mint, which was one of the major mints in Russia at the time, and it was made of silver, which was a valuable and sought-after metal. Despite its small denomination, the 1 Kopeck coin was an important part of the Russian economy and was widely used in trade and commerce during its time.
