Comment
Sviatopolk I Vladimirovich, Sviatopolk the Accursed (c. 980 – 1019) was the Kniaz' (Prince) of Turov (988–1015) and Velikii Kniaz (the Grand Prince) of Kiev (1015–1019) whose paternity and guilt in the murder of brothers are disputed.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Srebrennik coin is that it was used as a form of currency in Kyivan Rus, a medieval state that existed in the 9th to 13th centuries in the territories of modern-day Ukraine, Belarus, and parts of Russia. The coin was made of billon, a metal alloy composed of silver and other metals, and weighed 2.14 grams. Despite its small weight, the coin played an important role in the economy of Kyivan Rus, facilitating trade and commerce within the region.
