Interesting fact
The Pattern 3 Kopecks - Nicholas II (Mule) 1898 coin from the Russian Empire is interesting because it features a unique combination of designs. The obverse (front) side of the coin bears the image of Nicholas II, the last emperor of Russia, while the reverse (back) side features a mule, which is a rare animal to be featured on a coin. This combination of designs was not commonly used in Russian coinage, making this coin a standout piece in the collection of numismatists.
