Interesting fact
The Kopeck coin , which was issued during the reign of Peter I in 1701, was the first coin to feature the image of a Russian ruler. Prior to this, Russian coins had featured the image of the double-headed eagle, which was the symbol of the Russian Empire. This change in design was a significant departure from tradition and marked a new era in Russian coinage.
