This token was highly valuable and respected, it's a pattern which was considered as a so called "pattern ruble". I has 3 varietes: In Gold, Silver and CU one respectfully.

Interesting fact

The Pattern Ruble - Aleksandr I (Pattern) 1804 from the Russian Empire is interesting because it was minted with a unique design that was not ultimately adopted as the standard design for the Ruble coin. The pattern coin features a portrait of Aleksandr I on one side and an image of a double-headed eagle on the other, which was a departure from the traditional design of the Ruble coin. This coin is a rare and valuable collector's item, with only a few known examples remaining in existence.
