Interesting fact
The Kopeck coin , which was issued during the reign of Mikhail I (1613-1617) in the Russian Empire, was made of silver, but it was also the first coin in Russia to feature the image of a ruler. This was a significant departure from previous coins, which had typically featured religious symbols or other designs. The inclusion of Mikhail I's image on the coin was seen as a symbol of his power and authority, and it marked a shift towards a more secular and autocratic approach to governance in Russia.
