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 tsar on one side and the Moscow coat of arms on the other. The coat of arms includes a image of St. George slaying a dragon, which was a symbol of Moscow and the Romanov dynasty. 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. Despite the challenges of the time, the Kopeck coin remained a stable and trusted form of currency, and it continued to be used for centuries to come.
