Interesting fact
The Pattern 2 Roubles (Trial Strike) 1956 was a trial coinage minted in preparation for the introduction of a new 2-rouble coin. It features a unique design that was not ultimately adopted for the regular issue coin, and its brass composition makes it stand out from the standard cupro-nickel 2-rouble coins. This coin is highly sought after by collectors, particularly those interested in Soviet-era numismatics.
