Average weight 0.49-0.51 gr.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 1617. This coin was part of a series of coins minted during his reign, which featured the image of the Tsar on one side and the Moscow coat of arms on the other. The use of silver in the coin's composition was also significant, as it reflected the value placed on this precious metal at the time.
