Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Kopeck coin featuring Boris Godunov is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in Russia. Boris Godunov was the Tsar of Russia from 1598 to 1605, and his reign was marked by political instability, famine, and war. Despite these challenges, the coinage of the time remained consistent, with the Kopeck being a widely used denomination. The fact that this coin was made of silver also speaks to the value placed on this precious metal during that era.
