Interesting fact
The Kopeck coin , which features Peter I of Russia and was minted in 1709, is considered to be one of the rarest and most valuable coins in the Russian Empire's history. It's believed that only a small number of these coins were minted, and many of them have been lost or destroyed over time, making them highly sought after by collectors. In fact, some examples of this coin have sold for tens of thousands of dollars at auction.
