Interesting fact
The Kopeck coin , which was minted during the reign of Peter I in 1706, was part of a series of coins that were introduced to replace the traditional Russian coinage system, which had been based on the use of silver and copper coins. The new coins, including the Kopeck, were designed to be made of a higher purity of silver and were intended to promote trade and commerce within the Russian Empire. Despite the fact that the coin is relatively small in size and weight, it still holds significant historical value and is considered a collector's item among numismatists today.
