Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Polupoltinnik - Peter I 1707-1710 coin is that it was the first coin to feature the image of a Russian monarch, Peter the Great. This was a significant departure from the traditional designs used on Russian coins up until that point, which typically featured the Russian coat of arms or other symbols. The inclusion of Peter's image on the coin was a nod to his leadership and the reforms he implemented during his reign, and it marked a shift towards a more personalized and humanized approach to coinage design.
