Interesting fact
The 25 kopecks coin from the Russian Empire, minted between 1854 and 1857, features a unique design element - the portrait of two rulers, Nikolai I and Aleksandr II, on opposite sides of the coin. This was a deliberate design choice to signify the transfer of power between the two rulers, with Nikolai I's portrait on the obverse (front) side and Aleksandr II's portrait on the reverse (back) side. This coin is a rare example of a coin that has been minted with two different rulers' portraits, making it a valuable collector's item for numismatists.
