Interesting fact
The 1 Kopeck coin was the first coin to feature the image of a Russian emperor, with Nikolai I's portrait on the obverse (front) side. This was a departure from previous Russian coins, which had featured generic images of saints or other symbols. The inclusion of the emperor's portrait was a sign of the growing power and influence of the Russian monarchy during this time period.
