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 ruler's name in Cyrillic script. Prior to this, most Russian coins featured Latin script, and the use of Cyrillic script on coins was a significant departure from the norm. This change in script reflects the growing influence of Russian culture and language during this period, and marks an important milestone in the development of Russian numismatics.
