Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern Denga - Ekaterina II (Pattern) ND (1786-1789) coin is that it features a unique design that was never actually used in circulation. The coin was minted as a pattern coin, which means it was created as a prototype or sample for a potential new coin design, but it was ultimately not adopted for widespread use. Despite this, the coin remains a valuable and sought-after collector's item among numismatists due to its rarity and historical significance.
