Interesting fact

The Pattern 3 Roubles coin was designed by the Russian Imperial Mint in 1877 as a trial piece for a new coinage system, but it was never officially released into circulation. Despite its limited production and lack of circulation, the coin has become a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists due to its historical significance and rarity.
