Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Altynnik - Peter I 1711-1712 coin is that it was the first coin to feature the image of a Russian monarch, Peter the Great. This was a significant departure from the traditional design of Russian coins, which had previously featured the image of the Russian eagle. The inclusion of Peter's image on the coin was a symbol of his efforts to modernize and westernize Russia, and it marked a turning point in the country's history.
