Interesting fact
The Pattern 10 Kopecks - Alexander II (Pattern) 1871 from the Russian Empire made of Copper-nickel (Copper-Nickel-Tin) weighing 6.85 g is a rare and unique coin. It was minted in 1871 as a pattern coin, meaning it was not intended for circulation but rather as a trial or sample coin. The coin features the image of Alexander II, the Emperor of Russia from 1855 to 1881, on one side and the Russian coat of arms on the other. The use of copper-nickel-tin alloy was a departure from the traditional silver or gold coins used in the Russian Empire at the time, making it an interesting and unusual piece in the history of Russian numismatics.
