Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Jefimok Rouble - Alexey Mikhailovich (Countermarked over "St. Gallen Thaler") 1655 from Russian Empire made of Silver is that it was used as a form of currency in the Russian Empire during a time of economic turmoil. The coin was issued during the reign of Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich, who ruled from 1645 to 1676, a period marked by economic instability and inflation. The countermarking of the coin with the image of St. Gallen Thaler was done to validate its authenticity and value, as the original Swiss Thaler was a widely recognized and trusted currency at the time. Despite its age, the Jefimok Rouble remains a valuable collector's item and a testament to the rich history of Russian currency.
