Interesting fact

The Kopeck coin with the image of Mikhail I (о М) ND (1642) from the Russian Empire was made of silver, which was a significant change from the previous copper coins that were used in Russia at the time. This change in material was done to combat inflation and to increase the value of the coin. The use of silver in the coin also symbolized the wealth and power of the Russian Empire during the reign of Mikhail I.
