Interesting fact
The Kopeck coin , which features Mikhail I and was minted between 1618 and 1625, was actually the first silver coin to be introduced in Russia. Prior to its minting, the standard currency in Russia was the copper kopeck, but the introduction of this silver coin marked a significant shift in the country's monetary system. The use of silver in the coin's production also reflected the growing influence of Western Europe on Russia's economy and currency at the time.
