Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Jefimok Rouble coin is that it has a unique countermark, which is a stamp or marking added to the coin after it was minted. The countermark on this coin is the letters "AM" (Alexey Mikhailovich) and a small eagle, which were added over the original "Bohemia Kuttenberg Thaler" inscription. This countermark was used to indicate that the coin had been verified and approved by the Russian Empire's officials, and it adds an extra layer of historical and numismatic significance to the coin.
