Interesting fact

The Altyn - Peter I 1713 coin from the Russian Empire features a unique design element: a hole in the center of the coin. This hole was intentionally made during the minting process and was used to thread a string or cord through, allowing the coin to be worn as an amulet or pendant. This unusual feature adds to the coin's historical and cultural significance, making it a fascinating collector's item.
