Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Kopeck coin is that it was issued during the reign of Alexey Mikhailovich, also known as Alexis I, who was the Tsar of Russia from 1645 until his death in 1676. This coin was part of a series of coins issued during his reign to help stabilize the Russian economy, which had been struggling due to inflation and other economic challenges. Despite being made of copper, which was a relatively common metal at the time, the Kopeck coin was still considered a valuable and important form of currency in the Russian Empire.
