| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field bears the interlaced crowned imperial cypher of Nicholas II, formed by two mirrored Cyrillic letters 'N' (Н) surmounted by a small imperial crown with ribbons. The monogram is flanked on either side by sprays of olive and oak branches rising from the lower field, rendered in fine relief against a flat, unadorned background. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | The denomination and date are rendered entirely in retrograde (mirror image), reflecting the experimental pattern nature of this piece. The fraction '2/1' appears at the top of the field flanked by two small six-pointed stars, followed by the retrograde Cyrillic legend 'ИКЙѢПОК' (reading КОПѢЙКИ in normal orientation), and the retrograde date '7981' (reading 1897 in normal orientation) at the base, separated by a small decorative flourish. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
This piece is a pattern — KM#Pn150 and Bitkin#383 both catalog it among the experimental issues of 1897, when the Russian Imperial Mint was testing copper-nickel alloys as a potential replacement for the pure copper that had dominated small-denomination coinage since the 18th century. The reform never materialized for the lower denominations; Russia retained copper for its kopeck fractions, and these nickel-alloy trials remained confined to mint archives and the hands of a very few collectors.
