Interesting fact
The Kopeck coin with Mikhail I (o/M) ND (1618-1625) from the Russian Empire was made of silver, which was a significant change from the previous copper coins that were used in Russia. This change in material was due to a shortage of copper and the desire to create a coin that was more durable and had a higher value. The use of silver in the Kopeck coin helped to establish it as a reliable and valuable form of currency in Russia and beyond.
