Comment
Interesting fact
The Kopeck coin , which was issued during the reign of Peter I in 1711, was the first coin to feature the image of a Russian ruler. Prior to this, Russian coins had featured the image of the Russian eagle or other symbols, but not a portrait of the ruling monarch. This coin was a significant departure from previous Russian coinage and marked a new era in Russian numismatics.
