Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Kopeck - Ivan IV (Pskov; IВ-Р) ND (1561-1584) from Russian Empire made of Silver (.960) is that it was minted during the reign of Ivan IV, also known as Ivan the Terrible, who was the first Tsar of Russia and ruled from 1547 to 1584. This coin was minted in Pskov, a city located in the northwestern part of Russia, and features an image of Ivan IV on one side and the Russian coat of arms on the other. The use of silver in the coin's minting process was a significant departure from the previous copper coins that were used in Russia, and it marked a shift towards the use of more valuable metals in the country's currency.
