Interesting fact
The Alexey Mikhailovich Kopeck coin from the Russian Empire, which was minted between 1650 and 1655, features an image of a crowned double-headed eagle on the obverse (front) side, which symbolizes the unity of the Russian state and the Orthodox Church. The reverse (back) side of the coin bears the image of Saint George slaying a dragon, which represents the victory of good over evil and is a common motif in Russian coinage.
