Interesting fact
The Kopeck coin , which was minted during the reign of Peter I in 1705, was part of a series of coins that were introduced as part of Peter's efforts to modernize Russia's economy and military. The coinage reform of 1704, which introduced the Kopeck and other new denominations, aimed to replace the traditional system of bartering with a standardized system of currency. This helped to facilitate trade and commerce within Russia and beyond its borders.
