Interesting fact
The Pattern 1 Kopeck coin was designed by the Russian engraver, Alexander von Humboldt, who was also a prominent scientist and explorer. He was known for his work in the fields of botany, geology, and astronomy, and was one of the first scientists to study the natural world in a holistic way. His contributions to science and exploration are still celebrated today, and his name is often associated with groundbreaking discoveries and innovations. It's interesting to note that this coin, which was minted in 1830, features a design that was created by a scientist who was not only a pioneer in his field, but also a visionary who helped shape our understanding of the world.
