Interesting fact

The 1 Rouble coin from the Russian Empire featuring Nicholas II, which was minted between 1895 and 1915, has a unique feature that sets it apart from other coins of its time. The coin's silver content is .900, which means it is made of 90% silver, whereas most coins of that era were made of a lower percentage of silver or other metals. This makes it a valuable collector's item for numismatists who are interested in rare and unique coins.
