Interesting fact
The 5 Kopecks coin featuring Ekaterina II (MM) from the Russian Empire, minted between 1763 and 1795, is interesting because it was made during a time of significant change in Russia. Ekaterina II, also known as Catherine the Great, was the Empress of Russia during this period and implemented many reforms, including the creation of a new monetary system. This coin was part of that system and was widely used throughout the empire. Additionally, the fact that it was made of copper, a relatively inexpensive material, suggests that it was intended for everyday use by the general population, rather than being a high-value coin reserved for the wealthy.
