Interesting fact
The Kopeck coin , which was issued during the reign of Ivan IV (also known as Ivan the Terrible) in the 16th century, features an image of the Russian tsar on one side and the Novgorodian emblem on the other. The Novgorodian emblem features a pair of angels holding a shield with the city's coat of arms, which includes a image of St. Sophia, the patron saint of Novgorod. This emblem was used to symbolize the city's connection to the Russian Orthodox Church and its importance as a cultural and religious center in Russia.
