Interesting fact

The 1 Polushka coin from the Russian Empire, which features Pavel I (КМ) and was minted between 1797 and 1799, is notable for its unique design. The coin's obverse side features a portrait of Pavel I, while the reverse side depicts the Russian coat of arms, which includes a double-headed eagle and the imperial crown. This design was used for many coins during Pavel I's reign and has become a recognizable symbol of Russian currency from that period.
