Interesting fact
The 5 Kopecks - Ekaterina I (Plate money; Novodel) 1726 coin from the Russian Empire made of Copper is interesting because it was part of a series of coins known as "plate money" or "Novodel," which were issued during the reign of Catherine I in the early 18th century. These coins were unique in that they were made of copper plates that were stamped with the image of the empress and other symbols, rather than being minted in the traditional sense. This coin is particularly rare and valuable because it is one of the few surviving examples of this unique coinage system, making it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
