The Pattern Ruble - Pavel I (Pattern) 1796 from the Russian Empire is interesting because it was minted during the reign of Emperor Paul I, who was known for his eccentricities and reforms. One of his reforms was the introduction of a new currency, the Ruble, which replaced the old currency, the Assignation Ruble. The Pattern Ruble was minted as a trial coinage to test the new currency and was made of silver with a purity of .750 and weighed 24 grams. It features an image of Emperor Paul I on one side and the Russian coat of arms on the other. This coin is a rare and valuable collector's item, with only a few known to exist, making it a unique piece of numismatic history.
