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 boyar who rose to power after the death of Ivan the Terrible, and his reign was marked by political intrigue, power struggles, and economic instability. Despite these challenges, the coinage issued during his reign, including the Kopeck, remained consistent in its design and quality, reflecting the stability and continuity of the Russian monetary system during this period.
