svslav Pillar of the Community United States 2605 Posts	Posted 01/31/2011 11:12 pm The word kopek, kopeck, copeck, or kopeyka (in Russian: ÐºÐ¾Ð¿ÐµÐ¹ÐºÐ°, kopeyka) derives from the Russian kop'yo (ÐºÐ¾Ð¿ÑŒÑ') -- a spear. The first kopek coins, minted at Novgorod and Pskov from about 1535 onwards, show a horseman with a spear. From the 1540s onwards the horseman bears a crown, and doubtless the intention was to represent Ivan the Terrible, who was Grand Prince of all Russia until 1547, and Tsar thereafter. Subsequent mintings of the coin, starting in the 1700s, bear instead Saint George striking down a serpent. Report this Post to the Staff

svslav Pillar of the Community United States 2605 Posts	Posted 01/31/2011 11:16 pm By the way the word ruble is derived from a word to chop, or chopped (with an ax). Apparently that's how the planchets for the coins were prepared. Report this Post to the Staff

svslav Pillar of the Community United States 2605 Posts	Posted 01/31/2011 11:35 pm Belarus never issued circulation coins and they never issued denomination below 1 rubel! The only other place to issue kopecks is Trans(d)niestria but they are not recognized as independent, it's a part of Moldova with the lei/bani system. Report this Post to the Staff
