Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Kopeck - Boris Godunov (ГД-РЬ-MO) ND (1598-1605) from the Russian Empire made of Silver weighing 0.68 g is that it was minted during the reign of Boris Godunov, who was the Tsar of Russia from 1598 to 1605. This coin was used as a means of currency during his rule and features an image of him on one side and the Russian coat of arms on the other.
