Interesting fact

This coin features a unique design that was never officially adopted for circulation. The Pattern 2 Roubles was a trial strike that was minted in 1956, but it was never widely released or used as a regular currency. Instead, it remained a rare and collectible item, sought after by numismatists and coin enthusiasts.
