Interesting fact

The Pattern 15 Kopecks - Elizabeth (Pattern) 1760 from the Russian Empire is a rare and unique coin, with only a few known examples existing today. One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted with a special "secret" mark, which was a small letter "Е" (E) placed under the empress's crown. This mark was used to indicate that the coin was minted at the secret mint in St. Petersburg, and it was only known to a select few officials at the time. The presence of this mark makes the coin particularly valuable to collectors and historians.
