Comment
Portrait by T. Ivanov.Interesting fact
The Ruble coin , which was minted during the reign of Elizabeth (1757-1761) in the Russian Empire, features an image of the Empress on one side and the Russian coat of arms on the other. The coat of arms includes the double-headed eagle, which has been a symbol of Russia since the 14th century. The eagle holds a scepter and a globe in its talons, representing the Empire's power and influence. The image of Elizabeth on the other side of the coin is surrounded by an inscription that reads, "Елисавета II Императрица и Самодержица Всероссийская" (Elizaveta II Imperatritsa i Samoderzhitsa Vserossiyskaya), which means "Elizabeth II, Empress and Autocrat of All Russia." This coin was minted during a time of great change and expansion for Russia, as the Empire was rapidly expanding its territories and influence in Europe and Asia.
