Interesting fact
The Kopeck coin , which was issued during the reign of Peter the Great in 1701, was the first coin to feature the image of a Russian monarch. Prior to this, Russian coins had featured the image of the double-headed eagle, which was the symbol of the Russian Empire. This change in design marked a significant shift in the way that the Russian government presented itself to the world, and it paved the way for future coins to feature images of Russian leaders.
