Interesting fact
The 5 Kopecks coin featuring Ekaterina I (НД) 1726-1727 from the Russian Empire is interesting because it was issued during a time of significant economic and political change in Russia. The coin was minted during the reign of Empress Catherine I, who ruled from 1725 to 1727, and was the first woman to rule Russia. During her reign, she implemented several economic reforms, including the creation of a new monetary system, which led to the introduction of this coin. The coin's design features an image of Ekaterina I on one side and the Russian coat of arms on the other, symbolizing the power and authority of the Russian Empire during this time.
