Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Jefimok Rouble coin is that it was countermarked over an existing coin, the "Erbach Taler 1623," which was issued by the County of Erbach in Germany. This practice of countermarking, also known as "overstriking," was a common method used by various countries in the 17th century to create new coins without the need to mint them from scratch. The original coin was struck with a new design and inscription, creating a unique and valuable collector's item.
