Interesting fact
The 1 Polushka - Aleksandr I (Novodel) 1808 coin from the Russian Empire is interesting because it was minted during a time of economic and political change in Russia. The coin was issued during the reign of Alexander I, who was known for his efforts to modernize and westernize Russia. The coin's design, which features an image of Alexander I on one side and the Russian coat of arms on the other, reflects the country's shift towards a more modern and European-style monarchy. Additionally, the coin's composition of copper was a common material used for coinage during this time period, but it's interesting to note that the coin's weight of 2.56g is relatively light compared to other coins of similar value.
