Interesting fact
The Polushka coin, issued during the reign of Peter I of the Russian Empire (1701-1703), was the first coin to feature the image of a Russian monarch. This was a significant departure from the previous coins that had featured the Russian coat of arms. The image of Peter I on the coin was a symbol of the new era of Russian leadership and marked a shift towards a more centralized and autocratic government.
