Interesting fact

The Pattern Denga was a trial coin minted in 1828, and it features a unique design that was not used on any other Russian coin. The obverse of the coin depicts a portrait of Tsar Nicholas I, while the reverse shows the coat of arms of the Russian Empire. The coin was minted in copper, which was a common material for coins at the time, but it is now a rare and valuable collector's item.
