Interesting fact
The Rouble coin , which was minted during the reign of Peter I of the Russian Empire (1704-1705), features an image of the emperor on one side and the Russian coat of arms on the other. The coat of arms includes the image of a double-headed eagle, which has been a symbol of Russia since the 14th century. The use of silver in the coin's composition (83.3%) was a common practice during this time period, as it was a valuable and durable metal that was widely used in coinage.
