Interesting fact

The Kopeck coin , which was issued during the reign of Mikhail I (also known as Michael I) of the Russian Empire, features an image of the emperor on horseback on one side and the Russian coat of arms on the other. This coin was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in Russia, as Mikhail I was the first Romanov tsar and his reign marked the beginning of a new dynasty. Despite the challenges of the time, the coinage of this period is known for its high quality and artistic beauty, making it a valuable and sought-after collector's item among numismatists today.
