Interesting fact
The Kopeck coin , which was minted during the reign of Mikhail I (also known as Michael I) in the 17th century, features an image of the Russian tsar on one side and an image of the Moscow coat of arms on the other. The Moscow coat of arms features a image of St. George slaying a dragon, which is a symbol of the city of Moscow and represents the city's protection by the saint. This coin is a rare example of a silver kopeck from this time period and is highly sought after by collectors.
