Interesting fact
The Kopeck coin , which was issued 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 imperial eagle on the other. The coat of arms includes a image of St. George slaying a dragon, which is a symbol of Moscow and represents the city's patron saint. This design was used on many Russian coins during this period and has become a recognizable symbol of Russian culture and history.
