Interesting fact
The 2 Kopecks coin from the Russian Empire featuring Nicholas II (without mintmark) was minted during a time of great turmoil in Russia. The coin was minted from 1915 to 1917, a period that saw the country experiencing significant political and social upheaval, including the Russian Revolution of 1917, which ultimately led to the abdication of Nicholas II and the establishment of the Soviet Union. Despite the turmoil, the coin remained in circulation until 1922, when it was replaced by the Soviet ruble.
