Interesting fact

The Pattern Denga was a prototype coin designed by the Russian Empire in 1810, and it features a unique pattern on its reverse side. The pattern includes a series of interconnected circles and arrows, which were intended to symbolize the unity and strength of the Russian Empire. The coin was never officially released into circulation, but it has become a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists due to its rarity and historical significance.
