Https://www.m-dv.ru/catalog/id,4704/prohod.htmlInteresting fact
The Pattern Rouble - Catherine II (Pattern) 1766 from the Russian Empire is interesting because it was minted with a unique design that features a portrait of Catherine II on the obverse (front) side, and a crowned double-headed eagle on the reverse (back) side. This design was only used for a short period of time and is considered rare among coin collectors.
