Interesting fact
The Kopeck coin with the image of Boris Godunov was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in Russia. Boris Godunov was a powerful tsar who ruled from 1598 to 1605, and his reign was marked by a series of reforms and modernizations. One of his most significant achievements was the introduction of a new currency system, which replaced the old system of bartering with silver and gold coins. The Kopeck coin was a key part of this new system, and it was used throughout the Russian Empire for centuries to come. Despite the turmoil of the time, the Kopeck coin remained a stable and trusted form of currency, and it remains a valuable collector's item to this day.
