Interesting fact
The 3 Kopecks coin from the Russian Empire, featuring Nikolai I and Aleksandr II, was minted in Warsaw between 1850 and 1859. What's interesting is that the coin was made of copper, which was a common material for coins at the time, but it was also used as a form of propaganda. The coin's design featured the image of the two rulers, which was meant to symbolize the unity and strength of the Russian Empire. Additionally, the coin's minting was overseen by the Warsaw Mint, which was established in 1815 and was responsible for producing coins for the Russian Empire until 1915.
