Interesting fact
The Ducat - Peter I (Trade Coinage) 1712-1714 from the Russian Empire made of Gold (.980) weighing 3.47 g is an interesting coin because it was minted during the reign of Peter the Great, who was the ruler of Russia from 1682 until his death in 1725. Peter the Great implemented many reforms aimed at modernizing Russia, and the minting of this coin was likely part of his efforts to promote trade and commerce within the empire. The coin's design features an image of Peter I on one side and the Russian coat of arms on the other, symbolizing the power and authority of the Russian Empire during this time period.
