Comment
Averse stamp № 25; reverse stamp № 22.Interesting fact
The Kopeck coin , which was issued during the reign of Peter the Great in 1702, was the first coin to feature the image of a Russian monarch. This was a significant departure from previous Russian coins, which had traditionally featured religious symbols or other designs. The inclusion of Peter the Great's image on the coin was a nod to his efforts to modernize and westernize Russia, and it marked a shift towards a more secular and monarchical system of government.
