Interesting fact
The Kopeck coin , which features Mikhail I and was minted between 1613 and 1617, was the first silver coin to be minted in Russia. Prior to this, Russian coins were made of copper or other base metals. The introduction of silver coins marked a significant change in Russian currency and paved the way for the use of silver as a standard material for coins in the country.
