Interesting fact
The Ruble coin , which was minted during the reign of Ivan VI in 1741, was part of a series of coins that were minted with a new standardized design and weight. This was done to address issues with counterfeiting and to improve the overall quality of the currency in circulation. The use of silver in the coin's composition was also a significant change, as previous Ruble coins had been made of copper. This change in material was intended to increase the coin's value and make it more durable.
