One interesting fact about the 2 Dukats - Feodor III Alexeyevich (Trade Coinage; Novodel) ND (1676-1682) coin is that it was minted during a time of significant economic and political change in Russia. The coin was issued during the reign of Feodor III, who was the Tsar of Russia from 1676 to 1682. During his reign, Russia was facing economic challenges, including a severe famine in 1678 that led to widespread poverty and unrest. Despite these challenges, the minting of this coin suggests that there was still a demand for gold coins, and that the Russian Empire was continuing to engage in international trade.
