Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 5 Kopecks coin from the Russian Empire (1724-1730) is that it was made of copper, which was a significant change from the previous issues of the coin, which were made of silver. This change in material was likely due to the increasing cost of silver and the need to reduce the cost of producing the coin. Despite being made of a less valuable material, the coin still maintained its value and was widely used in circulation.
