Interesting fact

The Pattern 5 Kopecks - Nikolai I (Pattern) 1830 from the Russian Empire made of Copper weighing 22.75g is a rare and unique coin. It was minted during the reign of Nicholas I, who was the Emperor of Russia from 1825 to 1855. The coin features an image of the emperor on one side and the Russian coat of arms on the other.
