Interesting fact
The Peter I (Moscow Rouble) 1712 coin was the first coin to feature the image of a Russian ruler, Peter the Great. 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's image on the coin was a nod to his efforts to modernize and westernize Russia, and it marked a new era in Russian coinage.
