Interesting fact
The 1 Kopeck coin from the Russian Empire, minted during the reign of Peter I (1704-1718), features an interesting design element. The obverse side of the coin depicts an image of Peter I, while the reverse side features the coat of arms of Russia, which includes a double-headed eagle. This design was a departure from the traditional single-headed eagle seen on previous Russian coins, and it symbolized the empire's expansion and growth under Peter I's rule.
