Spanning eleven time zones across Eastern Europe and Northern Asia from the Baltic Sea to the Pacific Ocean as the world's largest country by area and governed from Moscow, Russia introduced the world's first decimal currency system under Tsar Peter the Great in 1704 when 1 silver Russian ruble was set equal to 100 copper kopeks. Struck at the historic Moscow (MMD) and Saint Petersburg (SPMD) Mints, modern Russian ruble (RUB) and kopek coins feature Saint George slaying the dragon and the double-headed eagle.
