Interesting fact

The Pattern Ruble - Nikolai I (Pattern; Novodel) 1827 was a trial coin that was never officially released into circulation. It was minted in 1827 as a test piece to evaluate the design and production process for a potential new ruble coin. The coin features a portrait of Tsar Nicholas I on one side and an image of the Russian coat of arms on the other. Because it was never circulated, the Pattern Ruble - Nikolai I (Pattern; Novodel) 1827 is considered a rare and valuable collector's item among numismatists.
