Interesting fact
The Kopeck coin with the name of Peter I and Ivan V (1682-1696) was the first coin to feature the image of a Russian ruler. Prior to this, Russian coins had featured the image of the Russian Orthodox Church's patron saint, St. George. This change in design marked a significant shift in the representation of power and authority in Russia, reflecting the growing influence of the Romanov dynasty and the increasing importance of the Russian state.
