Interesting fact
The Kopeck coin , which was issued during the reign of Peter the Great in the early 18th century, was the first coin to feature the image of a Russian ruler. Prior to this, Russian coins had typically featured the Moscow Kremlin or other symbols, but Peter the Great's reign marked a shift towards more personalized coinage. This coin, with its depiction of Peter the Great on horseback, represents a significant moment in Russian history and the beginning of a new era in coinage.
