Interesting fact
The 15 Kopecks coin featuring Ekaterina II, minted between 1767 and 1775, is an interesting piece of history. One fascinating fact about this coin is that it was made of silver, specifically .750 silver, which means it contains 75% silver and 25% other metals. This is notable because silver coins were widely used during this time period, but the use of silver in coinage was eventually phased out in favor of other metals like copper and nickel. Today, this coin is a valuable collector's item, and its silver content makes it a sought-after piece among numismatists.
