Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Kopeck coin is that it was minted during the reign of Mikhail I, who was the first Tsar of Russia and ruled from 1613 to 1645. This coin was minted specifically during the early years of his reign, from 1618 to 1625. It's made of silver with a purity of .960, which means it contains 96% silver and 4% other metals. Despite its small weight of 0.47 grams, it's a valuable collector's item for numismatists interested in Russian history and coinage.
