Interesting fact
The Kopeck coin , which features Peter I of the Russian Empire, was actually minted in 1702, during the Great Northern War. This war was fought between Russia and Sweden, and it lasted from 1700 to 1721. The coin was likely used to help finance the war efforts, and its silver content made it a valuable and reliable form of currency at the time.
