Interesting fact
The Kopeck coin , which was issued during the reign of Peter I of Russia in the early 18th century, features an image of the Russian emperor on horseback. This design was significant because it was the first time a Russian coin featured a portrait of the ruling monarch, rather than a symbol or an image of a saint. This change in design was a reflection of Peter I's efforts to modernize and secularize Russia, and it marked a turning point in the country's history.
