Interesting fact

The Pattern 2 Roubles (Trial strike) 1956 from Soviet Union (Russia) made of Copper-nickel-iron (Copper-Nickel-Zinc) weighing 10.1 g is a rare and unique coin, with only a few known examples in existence. It was minted in 1956 as a trial strike, meaning it was not intended for circulation and was only produced in small quantities for testing purposes. The coin's unique composition, which includes copper, nickel, and iron, gives it a distinctive color and texture that sets it apart from other coins. Additionally, the coin's design features the Soviet Union's national emblem, which was used during the Soviet era, making it a valuable collector's item for those interested in Soviet-era numismatics.
