Interesting fact
The Kopeck coin from the Russian Empire, issued during the reign of Pyotr I in 1702, was made of silver and weighed 0.28 grams. Despite its small size and relatively low denomination, the coin was an important part of the Russian monetary system at the time, and its design featured an image of the Russian emperor on one side and the Russian coat of arms on the other. Today, these coins are highly sought after by collectors and can fetch high prices at auction.
