Interesting fact
The Denga - Peter I 1704 coin 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 coat of arms. The inclusion of Peter's image on the coin was a nod to his leadership and the reforms he implemented during his reign, which helped to modernize and strengthen the Russian economy.
