Interesting fact
The Pattern 2 Kopecks - Ekaterina II (Novodel) 1796 coin 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 prototype, to test a new design for the 2 kopecks coin, 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.
