Interesting fact
The Pattern Kopeck - Aleksandr I (Pattern; Small eagle) 1811 from the Russian Empire is interesting because it was minted during a time of great change in Russia. The coin was issued during the reign of Alexander I, who was known for his efforts to modernize and westernize Russia. The coin's design, featuring a small eagle on the obverse and a crowned shield on the reverse, reflects the influence of European coinage styles of the time. Additionally, the use of copper as the material for the coin was a departure from the traditional use of silver or gold for Russian coins, indicating a shift towards more accessible and practical currency for the masses.
