Interesting fact
The Ruble - Elizabeth 1741 coin was minted during the reign of Empress Elizabeth of Russia, who ruled the Russian Empire from 1741 to 1762. It's interesting to note that Elizabeth was the daughter of Peter the Great, who introduced the Ruble as the official currency of Russia in 1724. The coin is made of silver and weighs 25.85 grams, which was a significant amount for a circulating coin at that time.
