Comment
These novodel pieces (official restrikes) were struck using the same reverse die as the type 1 Pattern coins, and using a 1/2 Rouble obverse die from Saint Petersburg (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 Empress Elizabeth of Russia, who was known for her extensive collection of coins and medals. This coin, with its unique design and silver composition, may have been a prized addition to her collection.
