Interesting fact

The Pattern Poltina - Aleksandr I (Pattern) ND (1804) from the Russian Empire, made of Copper, is a rare and unique coin that features a patterned design on one side and the image of Alexander I on the other. This coin was minted in 1804, during the reign of Alexander I, and was intended to be used as a prototype for a new coinage system. However, the design was ultimately rejected, and only a small number of these coins were produced, making them highly sought after by collectors.
