Interesting fact
The Polupoltinnik - Peter I 1702 coin from the Russian Empire is interesting because it was minted during a time of significant economic and political change in Russia. Peter the Great, who ruled from 1682 to 1725, implemented numerous reforms aimed at modernizing Russia and increasing its global influence. One of these reforms was the introduction of a new monetary system, which included the Polupoltinnik coin, which was equivalent to half a poltina, or 7 g of silver. This coin was minted in large quantities and was widely used in trade and commerce, reflecting the growing economic activity and development of the Russian Empire during this period.
