Interesting fact
The Pattern Ruble - Pavel I (Pattern) 1796 from the Russian Empire is an extremely rare coin, with only 300 pieces minted. It was created as a trial coinage for the coronation of Tsar Paul I, but due to his sudden death, the coin was never officially released into circulation. As a result, it has become a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
