Comment
Averse stamp № 3; reverse stamp № 3.Interesting fact
The Kopeck coin was issued during the reign of Tsar Vasili Shuisky, who was the last ruler of the Rurik dynasty. The coin features an image of the Tsar on one side and the emblem of the Second People's Militia on the other. The Second People's Militia was a military organization established by Tsar Vasili Shuisky in 1612 to defend the Russian Empire against foreign invasions. The coin was made of silver, which was a valuable and prestigious metal at the time. I hope you find this information interesting and helpful!
