Interesting fact
The Kopeck coin , which was minted during the reign of Mikhail I (also known as Michael Romanov) in the early 17th century, features an image of the Russian coat of arms on one side and the monarch's name and title on the other. What's interesting is that this coin was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in Russia, as the country was transitioning from a medieval society to a modern empire. The coin's design reflects this shift, with the use of modern engraving techniques and a focus on showcasing the Russian state's power and prestige. Despite being a small, low-denomination coin, the Kopeck coin played an important role in the Russian economy and was widely used in trade and commerce during this period.
