Interesting fact
The Kopeck coin , which was issued during the reign of Mikhail I (1618-1625) and made of silver (.960), was used as a means of payment for the Russian Empire's military forces during the Time of Troubles, a period of political instability and conflict in Russia that lasted from 1598 to 1613. Despite the challenges faced during this time, the coin remained a stable and reliable form of currency, and its use helped to support the empire's military efforts.
