Interesting fact
The Kopeck coin minted during Peter I's reign in 1709 was the first silver coin to be issued in Russia, marking a significant shift in the country's monetary system. Prior to this, Russia had primarily used copper coins for circulation. The introduction of silver coins helped to stabilize the Russian economy and paved the way for the development of a more robust monetary system.
