Interesting fact
The 5 Kopecks coin from the Russian Empire, featuring Alexander II, III, and Nicholas II, has an interesting feature. It was made of copper, weighing 16.38 grams, and was in circulation from 1867 to 1912. Here's an interesting fact about this coin: did you know that the coin's design was changed several times during its production run? The coin's obverse (front) design was altered in 1886, and the reverse (back) design was changed in 1908. These changes were made to reflect the changing political climate and the evolution of the Russian Empire's currency. Despite these changes, the coin remained a standard circulation coin throughout its production run, and it remains a popular collector's item today.
