Interesting fact
The Kopeck coin , which was minted during the reign of Peter I in 1709, was part of a series of coins that were introduced as part of Peter's efforts to modernize Russia's economy and currency system. The coin was made of silver and weighed 0.28 grams, which was a significant departure from the previous copper coins that had been used in Russia for centuries. This change in material and weight was intended to increase the value and stability of the Russian currency, and it marked an important step towards Russia's integration into the global economy.
