Interesting fact
The Kopeck coin from the Russian Empire, minted in 1703 during the reign of Peter I, is interesting because it was made of silver, which was a valuable and durable material at the time. Despite its small weight of 0.28 grams, the coin was widely used in trade and commerce throughout the empire, indicating the importance of silver in the economy of the time. Additionally, the coin's design, which features an image of Peter I on one side and the Russian coat of arms on the other, reflects the cultural and political significance of the Russian Empire during this period.
