Interesting fact
The interesting fact about the Polushka - Nikolai I 1849-1855 coin is that it was the first coin to feature the image of a Russian emperor, Nicholas I, on its obverse side. This was a departure from the traditional design of Russian coins, which had previously featured the Russian coat of arms or other symbols. The inclusion of the emperor's image was seen as a way to promote the power and authority of the Russian monarchy, and it set a precedent for future coin designs in Russia.
