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. This coin was minted in Velikiy Novgorod, which was an important city in the Russian Empire at the time. The coin's design features the image of Ivan IV on one side and the Novgorod coat of arms on the other. The use of silver in the coin's minting was a significant departure from previous coins, which were made of copper or other base metals. This change in material was likely a result of the increasing wealth and power of the Russian Empire during Ivan IV's reign.
