Feels like a missed opportunity to discuss a possible link to Knights Templar through the phrase on the reverse, "Не намъ, не намъ, а имени Твоему", which is part of Psalm 113 and was also used in its' Latin version "Non nobis, non nobis, Domine Sed nomini tuo da gloriam" as the motto of the Templar Knights. Not to mention the formation of the cross on the obverse out of 4 P's of Pavel's name.

Wow, very nice !!!
I would think the Tsar Konstantin ruble from 1825 would be the fantastic Russian coin. I bought an "example" in Odessa years ago.
