Interesting fact

The Kopeck coin , which was minted during the reign of Mikhail I (also known as Michael I) in the early 17th century, features an image of the Russian tsar on one side and an image of the Russian coat of arms on the other. The coat of arms features a double-headed eagle, which was a symbol of the Russian Empire at the time. This design was used on many Russian coins during this period and has become a recognizable symbol of Russian history and culture.
