Interesting fact
The Pattern 5 Roubles coin was designed by Nikolai V. Tomsky, a renowned Soviet sculptor and artist who was known for his work on various coins, medals, and monuments throughout the Soviet Union. The coin features an image of the Soviet state emblem on one side and the denomination on the other. It's interesting to note that the coin was made of lead, which is a relatively soft and malleable metal, and it weighs 21.90g, which is slightly heavier than a standard 5-rouble coin. This unique combination of design and materials makes the Pattern 5 Roubles coin a rare and interesting collector's item for numismatists.
