One interesting fact about the Polushka coin is that it was used as a means of payment for the Russian Empire's military forces during the time of Anna, Ivan VI, and Elizabeth's reign (1730-1754). The coin was made of copper and weighed 4.1 grams, making it a substantial and valuable currency for its time. Despite its value, the Polushka coin was not widely used among the general population, and its use was mostly limited to military transactions. This fact highlights the coin's unique historical significance and its role in the Russian Empire's military and economic systems.
