Interesting fact
The Kopeck coin , which was issued during the reign of Peter I in the early 18th century, was the first coin to feature the image of a Russian ruler. Prior to this, Russian coins had typically featured religious symbols or other designs. This coin was a significant departure from that tradition and marked a turning point in Russian numismatics.
