Poltinnik . 3P3O (1654). Early 19^th Century copy. Struck over 5 Kopecks of Catherine II. 34.94 gm. Chaudoir 3, 2., Zander, Silver Rubles.. p.11. Only thirteen original specimens of this type have survived. In addition, no Novodels had been struck by the mint. This makes our early antiquarian copy of some 200 plus years suitable in any collection. In fact, even as a copy it is much rarer than Novodel Roubles of the same Tsar. Tan-brown
Choice very fine
