Interesting fact
The 1 Polushka coin from the Russian Empire, minted between 1803 and 1810, features an interesting design element. On the obverse side, the coin bears the image of Emperor Alexander I, while the reverse side features the Imperial eagle with the crown on top. This design was a departure from the previous coinage designs, which featured the emperor's name in Cyrillic letters. Instead, the 1 Polushka coin was inscribed with the Latin letters "ЕМ" (EM), which stood for "Emperor of All Russia." This change in design was a significant departure from the traditional Russian coinage and reflected the influence of Western culture on Russian art and architecture during that time.
