One interesting fact about the Pattern Ruble - Aleksandr I (Pattern; Eagle on obverse) 1806 from Russian Empire made of Silver (.868) weighing 20.73 g is that it was minted during a time of great change in Russia. The coin was issued during the reign of Alexander I, who was known for his efforts to modernize and westernize Russia. This coin reflects that effort, as it features a more modern design than previous Russian coins, with a sleek eagle on the obverse and a detailed image of Alexander I on the reverse. Additionally, the use of silver in the coin's minting was a departure from the traditional copper and gold coins that were commonly used in Russia at the time, further highlighting the country's shift towards modernization.
