Interesting fact

The Kopeck coin , which was minted during the reign of Peter I in 1716, was part of a series of coins that were minted to commemorate 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 an image of the Russian coat of arms on the other. It's a rare and valuable coin, with only a limited number minted, making it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
