Interesting fact
The Ruble coin from the Russian Empire, minted in 1728 during the reign of Pyotr II, was made of silver with a purity level of .782, which is relatively high compared to other coins of its time. This means that the coin contains 78.2% silver and 21.8% other metals, such as copper or nickel. The coin weighs 28.44 grams, which is also relatively heavy for a coin of its size. This combination of high silver content and substantial weight made the Ruble a valuable and reliable form of currency during its time.
