Interesting fact

The Polupoltinnik coin was minted during the reign of Peter the Great, who was the first emperor of Russia and ruled from 1682 to 1725. The coin was used as a means of payment for the soldiers who fought in the Great Northern War, which was a conflict between Russia and Sweden that lasted from 1700 to 1721. The coin was made of silver and had a unique design, featuring an image of Peter the Great on one side and the Russian coat of arms on the other. Despite its historical significance, the Polupoltinnik coin is relatively rare and highly sought after by collectors today.
