Interesting fact
The Catherine II Rouble coin from the Russian Empire, minted between 1762 and 1763, features an image of the Empress Catherine II on the obverse side, while the reverse side bears the coat of arms of the Russian Empire. This coin was made of silver with a purity level of .750, which means it contains 75% silver and 25% other metals. It weighs 24 grams and has a diameter of 36 millimeters. Interestingly, the Catherine II Rouble coin was the first coin to feature the image of a female ruler, which was a significant departure from the traditional male-dominated designs seen on coins at the time. This coin is considered a rare and valuable collector's item today, with some mint-condition specimens selling for thousands of dollars at auction.
