Comment
Issued between 1725-1727 in various sizes containing copper equal to value of similar denominations of silver coinage. Obviously they copied the format of the Swedish plate money introduced in 1702.Interesting fact
The Kopeck coin featuring Ekaterina I (Plate money; Novodel) 1726 from the Russian Empire made of Copper is interesting because it was part of a unique series of "plate money" coins that were issued during her reign. These coins were made of large, thin plates of copper or silver that were stamped with the image of the empress and other symbols. They were not meant to be used as regular currency, but rather as a symbol of the wealth and power of the Russian Empire.
