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. This was a significant departure from previous Russian coins, which had traditionally featured religious symbols or other designs. 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 turning point in the country's history.
