Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Jefimok Rouble - Alexey Mikhailovich Countermarked over "Saxony Taler" ND (1655) coin is that it is a rare example of a countermarked coin, meaning that it was issued by a different authority than the original issuer. In this case, the coin was originally issued by the Saxony Taler, but it was later countermarked by Alexey Mikhailovich, who was the Tsar of Russia at the time. This process of countermarking coins was a common practice in the 17th century, as it allowed different rulers to issue their own coins without having to mint new ones from scratch.
