Interesting fact
The Kopeck coin from the Russian Empire, minted in 1713 during the reign of Peter I, is interesting because it was made of silver, which was a significant departure from the usual copper or bronze used for circulating coins at the time. This decision to use silver was likely influenced by the country's abundant silver reserves and the desire to showcase the wealth and power of the Russian Empire. The use of silver also made the coin more durable and resistant to wear and tear, ensuring that it would remain in circulation for a longer period.
