Interesting fact

The Elizabeth Pattern 20 Kopecks coin was minted during the reign of Empress Elizabeth of Russia (1741-1762) and features an image of the Empress on the obverse side, while the reverse side shows the coat of arms of the Russian Empire. This coin was minted as a pattern, meaning it was not intended for circulation but rather as a trial or sample coin. It's interesting to note that the coin was made of silver (.750) and weighs 4.77 grams, which is relatively small compared to other coins of similar value.
