Interesting fact
The Kopeck coin , which was issued during the reign of Peter I in 1709, was part of a series of coins that were minted to commemorate the victory of the Russian Empire over Sweden in the Great Northern War. The coin features an image of Peter I on one side and an image of the Russian coat of arms on the other. It's interesting to note that this coin was minted during a time when Russia was still using the Julian calendar, which is why the date on the coin is listed as 1709, even though it would be considered 1710 in the Gregorian calendar that is commonly used today.
