Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Kopeck coin is that it was issued 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. During his reign, Ivan IV implemented a number of significant reforms, including the creation of a new monetary system that included the introduction of the Kopeck coin. The coin was made of silver and had a value of 1/100th of a Ruble, which was the main currency unit of the Russian Empire at the time. Despite its small value, the Kopeck coin played an important role in the Russian economy and was widely used for everyday transactions.
