Interesting fact

The Kopeck coin , which features Peter I of Russia and was minted in 1702, is considered to be one of the rarest and most valuable coins in the Russian Empire's history. It's believed that only a small number of these coins were minted, and many of them have been lost or destroyed over time, making it extremely difficult to find one in good condition. As a result, collectors and historians highly prize these coins, and they can fetch high prices at auction.
