Interesting fact
The Kopeck coin , which features Mikhail I and was minted in Moscow between 1636 and 1645, is notable for being one of the first coins to feature a Russian tsar's portrait. Prior to this, Russian coins typically featured the image of a saint or a symbol, rather than a ruler. This change in design reflects the growing power and influence of the Russian monarchy during this period.
