Comment
Coins struck at St. Petersburg and Sestroretsk have a diameter of 34 mm.
Sestroretsk coins were struck using dies sent from the St. Petersburg mint, therefore the only way to distinguish coins is to spot traces of overstrikes.
Several minor variations are known including the crown (straight vs leaning; top jewel alignment), the monogram interlacing (Krasny mint) and the font style.
