Comment
In January 1698, the weight of kopeks was reduced from 0,42 to 0.28 g. Coins of 1698 have been found in both weight norms.
Interesting fact
The Kopeck coin from the Russian Empire, made of silver and weighing 0.42g, is interesting because it was issued during the reign of Peter the Great, who was known for his efforts to modernize Russia and promote trade. The coin's design features an image of Peter I on one side and the Russian coat of arms on the other, symbolizing the power and authority of the Russian Empire at the time.
