Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Kopeck coin is that it was minted during the reign of Vasiliy IV (also known as Vasily Shuisky), who was the Tsar of Russia from 1606 to 1610. This coin was minted in 1608, which was a significant year in Russian history as it marked the beginning of the Time of Troubles, a period of political instability and conflict that lasted for over a decade. Despite the turmoil of this time, the Kopeck coin remained a stable and widely used form of currency throughout the Russian Empire.
