Comment
Interesting fact
The Kopeck coin , which was issued during the reign of Peter I in 1701, was part of a series of coins that were minted to celebrate the victory of the Russian Empire over Sweden in the Great Northern War. The coin features an image of Peter I on one side and the Russian coat of arms on the other. It's interesting to note that this coin was made of silver, which was a valuable and sought-after metal at the time, and it weighs only 0.28 grams, making it a relatively small and portable form of currency.
