Interesting fact

The Poltina - Pavel I 1797 coin from the Russian Empire is interesting because it was minted during the reign of Paul I, who was known for his eccentricities and reforms. One of his reforms was the introduction of a new currency system, which included the Poltina coin, which was equal to 1/100th of a ruble. This coin was made of silver and weighed 14.62 grams, making it a significant coin in the Russian Empire's currency system at the time.
