Interesting fact
The Poltina coin featuring Aleksandr I from the Russian Empire, minted between 1809 and 1810, is interesting because it was produced during a time of economic and political change in Russia. The coin's silver content, weighing 10.37 grams, was a significant change from the previous copper-based currency, and it marked a shift towards a more stable and valuable currency system. This transition was a result of the government's efforts to combat inflation and stabilize the economy, and it had a lasting impact on the country's financial system.
