Interesting fact
The Kopeck coin , which features Mikhail I and was minted in 1636, is considered a rare and valuable collector's item. In fact, it's one of the rarest and most sought-after coins in the Russian Empire's history, with only a few known examples remaining in existence. Its value lies not only in its age and rarity but also in its historical significance, as it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in Russia, including the Time of Troubles and the establishment of the Romanov dynasty.
