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 to 1676. During his reign, he implemented several reforms, including the introduction of a new currency system, which included the Kopeck coin. The Kopeck coin was made of silver and was used as a standard circulation coin during that time.
