Comment
These novodel pieces (official restrikes) were struck using the same reverse die as the official coins, and using a 1 Rouble obverse die from Moscow (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, who was the Empress of Russia from 1741 to 1762. She was known for her extensive reforms and her efforts to modernize Russia, which included the introduction of new currency and the establishment of a central bank. This coin, with its unique design and silver content, is a reflection of the economic and political changes that were taking place in Russia during her rule.
