Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Ruble - Nikolai I / Aleksandr II 1832-1858 from Russian Empire made of Silver (.868) weighing 20.73 g is that it was used as a means of payment for the redemption of serfs in 1833. The coin was minted during the reign of Nicholas I, but it was not widely accepted as a means of payment until Alexander II ascended to the throne and implemented the Emancipation Manifesto in 1861, which abolished serfdom in Russia. This coin played a significant role in the historical event of freeing millions of serfs, and it remains a valuable collector's item today.
