Interesting fact
The 5 Kopecks coin from the Russian Empire, minted during the reign of Peter I (1723-1724), features an interesting design element - a unique blend of Russian and Western influences. The obverse side of the coin bears the image of a crowned double-headed eagle, a symbol of Russian imperial power, while the reverse side features a depiction of a sailing ship, reflecting Peter I's efforts to modernize Russia's navy and expand its maritime trade. This blend of traditional Russian motifs with Western-style ship design represents the cultural exchange and fusion that occurred during Peter I's reign, making the coin a fascinating piece of history.
