Interesting fact
The Pattern 1 Rouble coin was designed by the Russian Imperial Mint and features an image of Alexander II on the obverse side, while the reverse side features the Russian coat of arms. This particular coin is a pattern coin, meaning it was not issued for circulation but was instead created as a trial or sample coin. Pattern coins were often produced in small quantities and were used to test new designs, metallic compositions, or minting techniques. As a result, they are highly sought after by collectors and can be quite valuable.
