Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Nikolai I, also known as Nicholas I, who was the Emperor of Russia from 1825 until his death in 1855. He was known for his conservative and autocratic rule, and his reign was marked by the suppression of dissent and the expansion of the Russian Empire. The coin's design, which includes the Imperial Family's coat of arms and the inscription "П.У." (which stands for "Правитель Удельный," or "Sovereign Ruler"), reflects the importance of the Romanov dynasty and the imperial system during this time period.
