Interesting fact
The Altynnik coin featuring Peter I (Rider without coat) from the Russian Empire, minted in 1718, is interesting because it was produced during a time of significant economic and political change in Russia. The coin's composition, Billon (.396 silver), was a common alloy used in coinage during this period, and its weight of 1.7 grams was a standard denomination for the Altynnik coin. However, the image of Peter I on horseback without a coat is a unique feature that sets this coin apart from other coins of the time. It's a fascinating piece of history that provides a glimpse into the cultural and economic landscape of Russia during the early 18th century.
