| Additional information |
This piece belongs to a commemorative series issued by the Saint Petersburg Mint honoring figures of Russian imperial history. Peter I remains the mint's own founding patron — he established it on Vasilyevsky Island in 1724, relocating production from Moscow to bring coinage closer to his new capital and under tighter state control.
The brass composition places it firmly outside circulating currency; these were produced for the collector and souvenir market that the СПМД actively cultivated from the 1990s onward.
