Interesting fact
The 25 Kopecks coin from the Russian Empire, featuring Nikolai I and Aleksandr II, has an interesting feature - it has a unique "double-headed" design, with both emperors' profiles on opposite sides of the coin. This was a result of a design mistake, where the mint engraver mistakenly placed the wrong emperor's profile on the coin. Instead of correcting the mistake, the mint decided to keep the design as is, creating a rare and unique coin that collectors highly value.
