Interesting fact
The Catherine II Rouble coin was minted during the reign of Catherine the Great, who was the Empress of Russia from 1762 to 1796. She was known for her many reforms and her patronage of the arts, and her image appears on the obverse side of the coin. The reverse side features the Russian coat of arms and the denomination. The coin was made of silver with a purity of .750, which means it contains 75% silver and 25% other metals. It weighs 24 grams and has a diameter of 38 millimeters. I hope that's helpful! Let me know if you have any other questions.
