Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Pattern Ruble - Ivan VI (Pattern) 1740 from the Russian Empire is that it was minted during the reign of Ivan VI, who was the only son of Anna Leopoldovna, the daughter of Duke Leopold of Mecklenburg-Schwerin, and Charles Frederick, Duke of Holstein-Gottorp. Ivan VI was born in 1740, and his reign lasted from 1740 to 1741, making him one of the shortest-reigning monarchs in Russian history. Despite his brief reign, the Pattern Ruble coin minted during his rule has become a sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
