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 reforms, including the creation of a new currency system, which included the Kopeck coin. The coin was made of silver and had a value of 1/100th of a Ruble. It was used widely throughout the Russian Empire and was an important part of the country's economy during that time.
