Comment
Averse stamp № 11; reverse stamp № 15.Interesting fact
The Kopeck coin , which was issued during the reign of Peter the Great in the early 18th century, was part of a series of coins that were minted to promote trade and commerce in the Russian Empire. The coin's design featured an image of Peter the Great on one side and the Russian coat of arms on the other. The use of silver in the coin's minting was significant because it reflected the value placed on the metal at the time and the desire to create a currency that was both durable and valuable.
