The Pattern 1 Rouble - Elizabeth (Pattern) 1758 was designed by the Russian engraver, J.G. Schumacher, and features a portrait of Empress Elizabeth on the obverse (front) side, while the reverse (back) side depicts the Russian coat of arms. The coin was minted in 1758 as a pattern coin, meaning it was not intended for circulation but rather as a trial or sample coin. It is believed that only 20-30 of these coins were minted, making it a highly rare and sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
