Interesting fact
The Polupoltinnik - Peter I ND (1704) coin from the Russian Empire features a unique design element: a hole in the center of the coin. This hole was intentionally placed there by the mint to signify the coin's value, which was equivalent to half a poltina, or 7 g of silver. This design feature was used on several Russian coins during this time period, and it's a distinct characteristic that sets them apart from other coins.
