Comment
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Kopeck coin is that it was minted 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 the city of Pskov, which was an important center for trade and commerce in medieval Russia. The fact that it was made of copper and weighs only 0.43 grams suggests that it was a relatively small and lightweight coin, which would have been accessible to a wide range of people in the Russian Empire.
