Comment
Ruler - Peter III, was emperor of Russia for six months in 1762.Interesting fact
The 10 Kopecks coin from the Russian Empire, minted in 1762 during the reign of Peter III, is interesting because it was the first coin to feature a portrait of a Russian monarch, which was a departure from the traditional iconography used on Russian coins up until that point.
