Comment
Peter the Great, Reign: Tsar of All Russia – 1682-1721; Emperor of All Russia – 1721-1725.Interesting fact
The Denga - Peter I 1701-1704 coin from the Russian Empire made of Copper weighing 5.3 g is interesting because it was minted during the reign of Peter the Great, who implemented significant economic and political reforms in Russia, including the introduction of a new monetary system that replaced the old system of silver and copper coins with a new system based on copper and gold coins. This coin, which features an image of Peter I on one side and the Russian coat of arms on the other, was a significant departure from previous Russian coins and marked a turning point in the country's economic history.
