| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse displays the denomination '2' above the Cyrillic inscription 'КОПЕЙКИ', separated from the date '1802.' below by a horizontal lenticular ornament. The central design is framed by multiple concentric raised rings forming a distinctive border, with a fine milled outer rim. Small circular ornaments flank the denomination inscription at each side. The bold, well-spaced lettering and the architectural precision of the concentric ring border reflect the high-quality die workmanship typical of Saint Petersburg Mint proof patterns of the period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The 1802 copper patterns were struck as part of a broader recoinage exercise undertaken early in Alexander I's reign, testing whether Russia's cumbersome copper currency system — inherited from Paul I and Catherine before him — could be rationalized. The Bit#H696 designation places this among Bitkin's documented trial pieces, meaning it was never approved for general circulation and likely survives in very small numbers.
Paul I had actually suspended copper coinage reform efforts before his murder in 1801, leaving Alexander to inherit an unresolved monetary mess within his first year on the throne.
