Interesting fact
The Poltina - Pyotr II (СПБ) 1727 coin was minted during the reign of Peter II, who was only 14 years old at the time. Despite his young age, Peter II was known for his interest in science and technology, and he implemented several reforms aimed at modernizing Russia's economy and military. The coin's design, which features a portrait of the young tsar, reflects the influence of Western art and culture on Russian coinage during this period.
