One interesting fact about the Pattern 1 Rouble - Elizabeth (Pattern; Eagle in the clouds) 1756 from Russian Empire made of Gold (.917) weighing 1.6 g is that it was designed by the French engraver, Jean-Pierre Ador, who was invited to Russia by Empress Elizabeth to work at the St. Petersburg Mint. Ador's designs for the coinage of Elizabeth's reign were highly influential and helped to establish the Russian style of coinage that would be used for centuries to come.
