Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Poltina coin is that it was used as a means of payment for the Russian Empire's military forces during the Crimean War (1853-1856). The coin was minted during the reign of two Russian emperors, Nicholas I (1825-1855) and Alexander II (1855-1881), which is reflected in its design, featuring both emperors' profiles on opposite sides.
