Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Altyn - Peter I 1713-1714 coin from the Russian Empire is that it was the first coin to feature the image of a Russian monarch, specifically Peter the Great. This was a significant departure from previous Russian coins, which had traditionally featured the image of the Russian eagle. The inclusion of Peter's image on the coin was a nod to his leadership and the reforms he implemented during his reign, and it marked a shift towards a more personalized and monarchical approach to coinage in Russia.
