Interesting fact
The Kopeck coin was used as a form of currency in the Russian Empire from the 14th century until the Russian Revolution in 1917. The coin , the 1702 Peter I Kopeck, was issued during the reign of Peter the Great and features an image of the emperor on one side and the Russian coat of arms on the other. The use of silver in the coin's composition was a significant change from previous Kopeck coins, which were made of copper or other base metals. This change in material was a result of Peter the Great's efforts to modernize and strengthen the Russian economy.
