Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Kopeck coin is that it was minted during the reign of Mikhail I, also known as Mikhail Romanov, who was the first Tsar of Russia and ruled from 1613 to 1645. This coin was minted during a time of great change and turmoil in Russia, as the country was transitioning from a medieval state to a modern empire. The coin's design, which features an image of Mikhail I on one side and the Russian coat of arms on the other, reflects the cultural and political influences of the time. Additionally, the use of silver in the coin's minting process was a significant departure from previous coins, which were made of copper or other base metals. This change in material reflects the growing wealth and influence of the Russian Empire during this period.
