Interesting fact
The 1993 Russian Markhor 1 Rouble coin is unique in that it features a rare example of a coin with a non-standard denomination. Most coins have denominations that are multiples of 10 or 100, but this coin has a denomination of 1 Rouble, which is not a standard denomination in the Russian currency system. This makes it a rare and interesting collector's item for numismatists.
