Comment
Hutten-Czapski CountermarkInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the 3 Ducats - Peter I (Trade Coinage) 1702 from Russian Empire is that it was minted during the reign of Peter the Great, who was instrumental in modernizing Russia and introducing Western-style coinage. This coin, made of gold (.986) and weighing 10.21g, was part of a new currency system introduced by Peter the Great to replace the old system of silver and copper coins. The coin features an image of Peter I on one side and the Russian coat of arms on the other. It was used for trade and commerce, and its value was equivalent to three ducats, a popular currency unit at the time.
