Interesting fact
The Pattern 10 Kopecks - Alexander II (Pattern) 1871 from the Russian Empire is interesting because it features a unique design that was never officially adopted for circulation. The coin was minted as a pattern, or test coin, to experiment with a new design and metal composition, but it was ultimately rejected in favor of a different design. As a result, only a small number of these coins were produced, making them highly sought after by collectors today.
