Interesting fact

The Pattern 1 Rouble coin was designed by sculptor and artist, Ivan Dubas, and features an image of the Soviet state emblem on one side and the denomination on the other. The coin was minted in 1956 as a trial strike, which means it was produced in limited quantities and was not meant for circulation. This makes it a rare and valuable collector's item for numismatists.
