Interesting fact

The Pattern Jefimok Rouble was a prototype coin designed by Russian Emperor Paul I in 1798, and it features a unique blend of Russian and Western influences. The coin's design includes a portrait of Paul I on the obverse, surrounded by a wreath of laurel leaves, while the reverse features the Russian coat of arms and the inscription "ПАВЕЛЪ I БАТЫРЬ" (Pavel I Batyr), which means "Paul I the Brave." The use of the word "batyr" is significant, as it refers to a traditional Russian hero or warrior, highlighting Paul I's desire to present himself as a strong and courageous leader. Additionally, the coin's silver content was intended to symbolize the wealth and prosperity of the Russian Empire. Overall, the Pattern Jefimok Rouble represents an intriguing blend of Russian history, culture, and numismatics.
