Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Jefimok Rouble - Alexey Mikhailovich (Countermarked over "Saxe-Weimar Taler 1622") 1655 from Russian Empire made of Silver is that it was issued during a time of great economic and political change in Russia. The coin was minted during the reign of Tsar Alexey Mikhailovich, who ruled from 1645 to 1676, a period marked by significant reforms and modernization efforts in the country. The countermarking of the coin over a previously issued Saxe-Weimar Taler 1622 reflects the ongoing efforts to standardize and centralize the Russian monetary system during this time. Despite being issued over 350 years ago, this coin remains a valuable and fascinating piece of numismatic history.
