Interesting fact
The Kopeck coin , which was issued during the reign of Peter I in 1709, was part of a series of coins that were minted to celebrate the victory of the Russian Empire in the Great Northern War. The coin features an image of Peter I on one side and an image of the Russian coat of arms on the other. The use of silver in the coin's minting was a deliberate choice to symbolize the wealth and power of the Russian Empire at the time.
