Interesting fact
The Kopeck coin , which was issued during the reign of Peter I in 1710, was part of a series of coins that were minted to commemorate the victory of the Russian Empire over Sweden 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. It's interesting to note that this coin was made of silver, which was a valuable and sought-after metal at the time, and it weighed only 0.28 grams, making it a relatively small coin. Despite its small size, this coin is highly sought after by collectors today due to its historical significance and rarity.
