Interesting fact
The Polushka coin, issued during the reign of Peter I of the Russian Empire (1718-1722), was the first coin to feature the image of a Russian ruler. This was a significant departure from the traditional design of Russian coins, which had previously featured the image of the Russian coat of arms. The inclusion of Peter I's image on the coin was a symbol of his efforts to modernize and centralize the Russian state.
