Interesting fact
The Kopeck coin from the Russian Empire, minted in 1716 during the reign of Peter I, is interesting because it was made of silver, which was a significant change from the previous copper coins. This change in material was done to combat inflation and to increase the value of the currency. The use of silver in the coinage also signified the growing wealth and power of the Russian Empire at that time.
