Comment
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Kopeck coin featuring Boris Godunov is that it was issued during a time of great turmoil in Russia. Boris Godunov was a powerful advisor to Tsar Fedor I, but he eventually seized the throne for himself and ruled as a tsar from 1598 to 1605. His reign was marked by political instability, famine, and foreign invasions, and the coinage of the time reflects this tumultuous period in Russian history. Despite the challenges of the time, the Kopeck coin remained a stable and widely used form of currency, and it continues to be a valuable collector's item to this day.
