Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the Russian Partition of Poland, which was a period of time when Poland was divided and occupied by various foreign powers, including Russia. Despite this, the coin still features the image of Nikolai I, the Russian Tsar at the time, on one side, and the Polish coat of arms on the other. This highlights the complex history and cultural influences that shaped the region during this period.
