Comment
These novodel pieces (official restrikes) were struck using the same reverse die as the official coins, and using a 1/4 Rouble obverse die (for Russia). While the exact date these novodels were struck is unknown, they would have been struck in 1758 at the very earliest.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Elizabeth of Russia, who was the Empress of Russia from 1741 to 1762. She was known for her many military conquests and her efforts to modernize and westernize Russia. The coin's design, featuring Elizabeth on the obverse and the ¼ Rouble obverse die, is a reflection of her influence and power during her reign.
