Interesting fact
The Kopeck coin , which features Peter I of Russia and was minted in 1704, is considered to be one of the rarest and most valuable coins in the Russian Empire's history. It's believed that only a small number of these coins were minted, and many of them have been lost or destroyed over time, making it highly sought after by collectors. In fact, in 2018, a rare 1704 Kopeck coin sold for a staggering $3.5 million at an auction in New York!
