The Pattern Poltina was a prototype coin designed by Peter I in 1699, and it features a unique blend of Russian and Western influences. The coin's design includes a portrait of Peter I on one side and an image of a double-headed eagle on the other, which was a departure from the traditional Russian coinage design that featured the Tsar's name and title. This design was never adopted for mass production, making the Pattern Poltina a rare and highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
