Interesting fact
The Kopeck coin was issued during the reign of Michael I, who was the first Tsar of Russia and ruled from 1617 to 1627. During his reign, the Russian Empire was facing significant economic challenges, including inflation and a shortage of silver coins. To address these issues, Michael I introduced a new currency system that included the Kopeck coin, which was made of silver and had a standardized weight and purity. This coin was used throughout the Russian Empire and was an important step in stabilizing the economy during that time.
