Interesting fact
The Poltina coin was minted during the reign of Paul I of Russia, who was known for his eccentricities and tyrannical behavior. One of his most notable actions was his attempt to change the Russian currency system, which led to the creation of the Poltina coin. The coin was intended to replace the existing currency, the ruble, but it ultimately failed and was withdrawn from circulation. Despite this, the Poltina coin remains a fascinating piece of Russian history and a sought-after collector's item.
