Interesting fact
The Kopeck coin from the Russian Empire, minted in 1709 during the reign of Peter I, is interesting because it was made of silver, which was a significant change from the previous copper coins. This change in material was done to combat inflation and maintain the value of the currency. Additionally, the coin's design features an image of Peter I, which makes it a unique and collectible item for numismatists.
