Interesting fact
The 5 Kopecks coin from the Russian Empire, minted between 1802 and 1810 during the reign of Aleksandr I, features an interesting design element. On the obverse side of the coin, the emperor's portrait is surrounded by a wreath made of laurel leaves, which symbolizes victory and glory. This design was a departure from the previous coinage designs that featured a simple portrait of the emperor without any additional embellishments. The inclusion of the laurel wreath was a deliberate choice to emphasize Aleksandr I's military victories and his reputation as a powerful and successful leader.
