Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Jefimok Rouble - Alexey Mikhailovich Countermarked over "Mansfeld-Eisleben Thaler" ND (1655) coin is that it is a rare example of a countermarked coin, which means that a new mark or symbol was added to the coin after it was originally minted. In this case, the coin was originally minted as a Mansfeld-Eisleben Thaler in the 17th century, but it was later countermarked with the symbol of Alexey Mikhailovich, the Russian tsar who ruled from 1645 to 1676. This countermarking was done to validate the coin's use in the Russian Empire, and it is believed that only a small number of these coins were countermarked, making them highly sought after by collectors.
