Interesting fact
The Pattern Polushka was a prototype coin designed by the Russian Empire in 1849, and it features a unique pattern on its reverse side. The pattern includes a series of interconnected circles and arrows, which were intended to symbolize the unity and strength of the Russian Empire. This design was ultimately not adopted for use on regular circulating coins, but it remains an interesting and rare variation in the history of Russian coinage.
