Interesting fact
The Pattern 3 Kopecks coin was designed by the Russian artist and engraver, Abram Belopolsky, and features a portrait of Nicholas II, the last emperor of Russia, on the obverse side. The reverse side of the coin depicts the coat of arms of the Russian Empire, surrounded by a wreath of laurel leaves. The coin was minted in 1898 as a pattern coin, meaning it was not intended for circulation but rather as a trial or sample coin. It is considered a rare and valuable collector's item among numismatists today.
