Interesting fact
The Kopeck coin , which features Mikhail I (also known as Michael I) and was minted in Velikiy Novgorod between 1617 and 1627, is interesting because it was issued during a time of great change and upheaval in Russia. Mikhail I was the first Romanov tsar, and his reign marked the beginning of a new dynasty that would rule Russia for the next 300 years. Additionally, this coin was minted during a period of economic and political instability, as Russia was struggling to recover from the Time of Troubles, a period of political upheaval and foreign invasion that had devastated the country. Despite these challenges, the Kopeck coin remained a stable and widely used form of currency, and its design has become iconic of Russian coinage.
