Interesting fact
The Kopeck coin from the Russian Empire, made of silver and weighing 0.28g, is interesting because it was issued during the reign of Peter the Great, who ruled from 1682 to 1725. Peter the Great implemented numerous reforms aimed at modernizing Russia, and the introduction of this coin was part of his efforts to create a uniform currency system across the empire. The coin's design features an image of Peter I on one side and the Russian coat of arms on the other. Despite its small size, the coin played a significant role in the Russian economy during that time.
