Interesting fact
The Kopeck coin , which was minted during the reign of Peter I in 1702, was part of a series of coins that were introduced to replace the traditional silver ruble, which had been the main currency of Russia for centuries. This series of coins was designed to be smaller and more practical for everyday transactions, and they featured a portrait of Peter I on one side and an image of the Russian eagle on the other. The Kopeck coin was the smallest denomination in this series, with a value of 1/100th of a ruble. Despite its small size, this coin played an important role in the economy of Russia at the time and was widely used in trade and commerce.
