Interesting fact
The Kopeck coin with the image of Mikhail I (о М) ND (1636-1645) from the Russian Empire was made of silver, which was a significant change from the previous copper coins that were used in Russia. This change was made to address the issue of inflation and to increase the value of the currency. The use of silver coins also symbolized the growing power and wealth of the Russian Empire during Mikhail I's reign.
