Interesting fact
The Kopeck coin , which was issued during the reign of Peter I of Russia in 1698, was made of silver and weighed 0.28 grams. What's interesting about this coin is that it was one of the first coins to feature a portrait of a Russian ruler, which was a departure from the traditional iconography used on Russian coins up until that point. The coin's design was meant to promote the image of Peter I as a powerful and enlightened leader, and it marked a significant shift in the way that Russian rulers were depicted on coinage.
