Interesting fact
The Poltina - Pyotr III (ММД) 1762 coin was minted during the reign of Peter III, who was the Emperor of Russia for only six months in 1762 before being overthrown. Despite his short reign, Peter III's coinage reforms had a lasting impact on Russian numismatics, and this coin is a rare example of a silver coin minted during his reign.
