Interesting fact

The Anna Ruble coin from the Russian Empire, minted between 1739 and 1740, features an interesting error on some of the coins. Some of the coins were accidentally minted with a double strike, resulting in a ghostly image of the empress Anna's profile appearing on the reverse side of the coin, creating a unique and rare variation in the coin's design.
