Comment
Coinage was produced during the Russian-Turkish war in 1771-1774, by order of the Russian government on Sadogursky private mint (Sadagura) on the territory of modern Romania. Double denomination (in Russian and local currency) contributed to establishing the correct equivalents in the calculation with the local population in the procurement, mainly of food and fodder.Interesting fact
