Interesting fact
The Pattern 10 Kopecks - Nikolai I (Pattern) 1843 is a rare and unique coin that was never circulated, making it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists. Its rarity is due to the fact that it was only produced in small quantities as a trial or pattern coin, and most of them were likely melted down or destroyed over time. As a result, it's estimated that only a few dozen of these coins exist today, making them extremely valuable to collectors and historians.
