Comment
Ruler: Peter III, was emperor of Russia for six months in 1762.Interesting fact
The Denga - Pyotr III 1762 coin from the Russian Empire was made of copper, which was a common material for coins at that time. However, what makes this coin stand out is that it was one of the first coins to feature a portrait of a Russian ruler, in this case, Peter III. This was a departure from the traditional iconography used on Russian coins, which typically featured religious symbols or allegorical figures. The inclusion of a portrait of the ruler on the coin was a sign of the growing power and influence of the Russian monarchy during that time.
