Interesting fact
The 2 Kopecks coin from the Russian Empire, featuring Pavel I (АМ) and minted between 1797-1798, is interesting because it was made during a time of currency reform. The coin was part of a series of new coins introduced by Pavel I to replace the old currency system, which had become devalued and unreliable. The 2 Kopecks coin was one of the lowest denominations in the new system and was made of copper, a relatively inexpensive metal. Despite its low value, the coin was still carefully crafted and features detailed engravings of Pavel I on one side and the Russian coat of arms on the other. Today, this coin is a rare and valuable collector's item, offering a glimpse into the monetary history of Russia during the late 18th century.
