Interesting fact
The 5 Kopecks coin featuring Ekaterina II (AM) from the Russian Empire, minted between 1789 and 1796, is interesting because it was the first coin to feature the portrait of a female monarch in Russia. This was a significant departure from the traditional male-dominated imagery on coins and marked a milestone in the representation of women in Russian numismatics.
