Interesting fact

The Kopeck coin , which was minted during the reign of Alexey Mikhailovich (1645-1650) and made of silver, was actually used as a means of promoting the Russian Orthodox Church. The coin features an image of the Russian Orthodox cross on one side, and the Moscow Kremlin on the other. This coin was minted during a time when the Russian Orthodox Church was an important institution in Russian society, and its use on coins was seen as a way to promote the church's influence and authority.
