Interesting fact
The Kopeck coin , which features Mikhail I and was minted between 1618 and 1625, is interesting because it was one of the first coins to feature the image of a Russian tsar. Prior to this, most Russian coins bore the image of the Virgin Mary or other religious figures. The inclusion of Mikhail I's image on the coin was a significant departure from tradition and marked a turning point in Russian numismatics.
