Interesting fact
The Kopeck coin , which was issued during the reign of Peter the Great in 1699, features an image of a crowned double-headed eagle on one side and the Russian coat of arms on the other. This design was a departure from the traditional Kopeck design, which typically featured an image of the Russian ruler on one side and a religious symbol on the other. The use of the double-headed eagle on the Kopeck coin was a nod to the imperial ambitions of Peter the Great, who sought to modernize and expand the Russian Empire during his reign.
