Interesting fact
The Kopeck coin from the Russian Empire, minted in 1704 during the reign of Peter I, is interesting because it was made of silver, which was a rare and valuable metal at the time. This coin was also one of the smallest silver coins minted during Peter's reign, weighing only 0.28 grams. Despite its small size, it was still considered a significant denomination in the Russian Empire's monetary system and was widely used in trade and commerce.
