Interesting fact

The Kopeck coin from the Russian Empire, minted in 1702 during the reign of Peter I, was made of silver and weighed 0.28 grams. Despite its small size and relatively low denomination, the coin was an important part of the Russian economy at the time, and its design featured an image of Peter I himself, symbolizing the power and authority of the Russian Empire.
