Interesting fact
The Kopeck coin , which was issued during the reign of Vasiliy IV in the early 17th century, features an image of the Russian coat of arms on one side and the emperor's name and title on the other. However, what's particularly interesting about this coin is that it was minted using a unique method called "striking," where the metal was hammered into shape using a die, resulting in a distinctive irregular shape and texture that's still visible on the coin's surface today. This method was used to create many coins during this time period, but it's a fascinating glimpse into the craftsmanship and techniques used by early coin makers.
