Comment
Initials: ГЛ - Grigory LvovInteresting fact
The Ducat - Pavel I (Trade Coinage) 1797 was used as a means of payment for foreign trade transactions, and its value was pegged to the value of the Russian ruble. This coin was minted in small quantities and was not meant for circulation within Russia, but rather for use in international trade. Its unique design and rarity make it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists today.
