Similar to KG#1717, difference is only in the last letter of the year (B=2, Г=3)
Interesting fact
The Kopeck coin from the Russian Empire, minted in 1702 during the reign of Peter I, is interesting because it was made of silver, which was a significant departure from the traditional copper or bronze used for circulating coins at the time. This decision to use silver was likely influenced by the country's growing wealth and trade, as well as the desire to create a more valuable and prestigious currency. The use of silver in the Kopeck coinage also reflects the increasing importance of Russia as a major economic power in Europe during the early 18th century.
