Comment
Ivan VI Antonovich (Ioann Antonovich) was nominally Emperor of Russia in 1740-1741.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Poltina - Ivan VI (ММД) 1741 coin is that it was issued during the reign of Ivan VI, who was the Emperor of Russia from 1740 to 1741, and was the son of Anna Leopoldovna, the daughter of Duke Leopold of Mecklenburg-Schwerin. Despite being the Emperor, Ivan VI was only a child at the time, and the coin was likely issued as a way to promote his image and solidify his claim to the throne.
