Interesting fact

The Kopeck coin from the Russian Empire, made of silver and weighing 0.28g, is interesting because it was issued during the reign of Peter I, also known as Peter the Great, who ruled from 1682 to 1725. Peter I was a significant figure in Russian history, known for his efforts to modernize and westernize the country, and this coin is a tangible representation of that era.
