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 Kremlin or other symbols. The inclusion of Peter I's image was a nod to his leadership and the growing power of the Russian Empire during his reign.
