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. This was a significant departure from the traditional design of Russian coins, which had previously featured the image of the Russian coat of arms. 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 new era in Russian coinage.
