Interesting fact
The Kopeck coin , which was issued during the reign of Peter the Great in the early 18th century, features an image of a horseman on the obverse (front) side. This design was meant to symbolize the power and strength of the Russian Empire, and it was a departure from the traditional designs used on earlier Russian coins. The use of a horseman on the coin was a nod to the importance of horseback riding in Russian culture and the military prowess of the Russian army.
