Comment
Ruler: Alexander II (1855-1881).Interesting fact
The Pattern 2 Kopecks - Alexander II (Pattern) 1863 from the Russian Empire made of Copper is interesting because it was never actually circulated or used as currency, but instead was minted as a trial or pattern coin. This means that it was created to test the design and production process, and only a small number were made, making it a rare and unique collector's item.
