Interesting fact

The Kopeck coin from the Russian Empire, minted in 1702 during the reign of Peter I, was made of silver and weighed 0.28 grams. Despite its small size and relatively low denomination, the coin was an important part of the Russian monetary system at the time, and its design featured an image of Peter I on one side and the Russian coat of arms on the other. Today, the coin is a sought-after collector's item and a piece of history that offers a glimpse into Russia's rich cultural heritage.
