Comment
Interesting fact
The Kopeck coin , which was minted during the reign of Alexey Mikhailovich (also known as Alexis I) in the 17th century, features an image of the Russian emperor on one side and an image of the Archangel Michael on the other. The coin was made of copper and weighed 0.43 grams. It's interesting to note that the coin's design was meant to symbolize the power and authority of the Russian monarchy, with the image of the emperor on one side and the archangel on the other representing the divine right of the monarch to rule.
