Comment
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 minted in Pskov, a city located in the northwestern part of Russia, and was made of copper. Despite its small weight of 0.44 grams, it was an important denomination in the Russian Empire's monetary system at the time.
