Interesting fact
The Kopeck coin , which was minted during the reign of Peter I in the early 18th century, features an image of the Russian emperor on horseback. This design was meant to symbolize Peter's military conquests and his efforts to modernize Russia. However, the coin's design also contains a subtle error: the horse's tail is depicted as being too long, which was a common mistake in engraving at the time. Despite this mistake, the coin remains a valuable and sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
