Interesting fact
The Poltina coin was used as a means of payment for the Russian military during the Great Northern War, which lasted from 1700 to 1721. The coin was named after the Russian word for "poltin," which means "half," as it was equal to half the value of a ruble, the standard unit of currency in Russia at the time.
