Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Kopeck coin is that it was issued during the reign of Vasiliy IV, who was the last Rurik dynasty tsar and ruled Russia from 1606 to 1610. Despite his short reign, Vasiliy IV's rule was marked by significant political and economic reforms, including the introduction of a new coinage system that included the Kopeck coin. The coin's design features the image of Vasiliy IV on one side and the Pskov coat of arms on the other, which reflects the city's importance as a trading center and mint during that time.
