Interesting fact
The 2 Kopecks - Pyotr III 1762 coin was minted during the reign of Peter III, who was the Emperor of Russia for only six months in 1762 before being overthrown and assassinated. Despite his short reign, Peter III's coinage reforms had a lasting impact on Russian currency, including the introduction of the copper 2 kopecks coin, which was minted for the first time in 1762. This coin features an image of Peter III on one side and the Russian coat of arms on the other.
