Interesting fact
The Kopeck coin with the image of Mikhail I, also known as the "Mikhail I Kopeck," was minted during his reign from 1626 to 1635 and was the first coin to feature the image of a Russian tsar. This coin was a significant departure from previous coins that had featured religious symbols or the Russian coat of arms. The introduction of the tsar's image on the coin was seen as a way to promote the power and authority of the Russian monarchy and marked a turning point in Russian numismatics.
