Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1751 Russian Empire 2 Dukats coin is that it was minted during the reign of Empress Elizabeth, who was known for her extensive collection of coins and medals. In fact, she was so passionate about numismatics that she even established a special cabinet for the storage and display of her collection, which included rare and valuable coins from all over Europe and Asia. The 2 Dukats coin, with its high gold content and intricate design, would have been a prized addition to her collection.
