Interesting fact
The Kopeck coin from the Russian Empire, minted in 1701 during the reign of Peter I, is interesting because it was made of silver, which was a valuable and durable material at the time. Despite its small weight of 0.28 grams, the coin was widely used in trade and commerce throughout the empire, indicating the importance of silver in the economy of the time. Additionally, the coin's design, featuring an image of Peter I, reflects the significance of the Romanov dynasty and the imperial power of Russia during that period.
