Interesting fact
The Ruble - Elizabeth 1741 coin was minted during the reign of Empress Elizabeth of Russia, who was known for her extensive collection of coins and medals. In fact, she was so passionate about numismatics that she even established a special department called the "Coin Cabinet" to manage her collection. This coin, which features Elizabeth's portrait on one side and the Russian coat of arms on the other, was likely part of her collection and is now a rare and valuable piece for collectors.
