Interesting fact
The Pattern 3 Roubles coin was designed by sculptor and artist, Ivan Dubasov, and features an image of the Soviet state emblem on one side and the denomination on the other. The coin was minted in 1956 as a trial strike, which means it was produced in a small quantity for testing purposes and not meant for circulation. As a result, it is considered a rare and valuable collector's item among numismatists.
