These coins were also minted in gold.
Interesting fact
The Kopeck coin , which was issued during the reign of Vasiliy IV (Moscow) from 1606-1610, was made of silver, but it was also one of the first coins to feature a unique design element - a small image of a scepter on the reverse side. This scepter symbolized the power and authority of the Russian Empire, and it was a departure from the traditional designs found on earlier Russian coins. This design change marked a significant shift in the way coins were produced and used in Russia, and it paved the way for future innovations in coin design.
