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 featured a unique image of Peter I on horseback, showcasing the leader's military prowess and symbolizing the empire's growing power.
