Comment
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Kopeck - Peter I / Ivan V (with the name of Peter) ND (1689-1696) from Russian Empire made of Silver weighing 0.42 g is that it was minted during a time of significant economic and political change in Russia. Peter the Great, who ruled from 1682 to 1725, implemented a number of reforms aimed at modernizing Russia and increasing its global influence. These reforms included the creation of a new monetary system, which replaced the old system of bartering with silver and copper coins. The Kopeck coin, which was introduced in 1704, was a key part of this new system and was used throughout the Russian Empire for over a century. Despite its small size and relatively low value, the Kopeck coin played an important role in facilitating trade and commerce during this period of rapid growth and development.
