The 5 Kopecks coin from the Russian Empire, minted during the reign of Peter I (1713-1714), features an interesting design element. The obverse side of the coin bears the image of a crowned double-headed eagle, symbolizing the unity of the Russian Empire and its Orthodox faith. The eagle is surrounded by a wreath of laurel leaves, adding to the coin's aesthetic appeal. This design was a departure from the traditional designs seen on earlier Russian coins, which often featured the ruling monarch alone. The inclusion of the double-headed eagle motif was a nod to the empire's growing influence and power during Peter I's reign.
