Interesting fact
The Kopeck coin , which was issued during the reign of Peter the Great in 1698, was the first coin to feature the image of a Russian ruler. Prior to this, Russian coins had featured the image of the Russian coat of arms, but Peter the Great's reign marked a shift towards more personalized coinage. This coin, with its depiction of Peter the Great on horseback, symbolized the power and authority of the Russian monarch and paved the way for future coins featuring Russian rulers.
