Interesting fact
The Kopeck coin , which was minted during the reign of Alexey Mikhailovich (1650-1655) 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 experiencing significant growth and influence in Russian society, and its inclusion on the coinage was seen as a way to further promote the Church's authority and legitimacy.
