Interesting fact

The Pattern 5 Roubles (Trial strike) 1956 from Soviet Union (Russia) made of Copper plated iron weighing 16 g is a rare and unique coin that was never officially released into circulation. It was created as a trial strike, meaning it was produced in small quantities for testing and evaluation purposes, and not intended for widespread use. As a result, it is highly sought after by collectors and can fetch a high price at auction.
