Interesting fact
The Peter I Rouble, also known as the "Moscow Rouble," was the first coin to feature the image of a Russian monarch, with Peter I depicted on the obverse (front side). This was a significant departure from previous Russian coins, which had traditionally featured the Moscow coat of arms or other symbols. The inclusion of the monarch's image signaled a shift towards a more centralized and autocratic government, with the tsar at its head.
