What about this coin?
Thanks.
I agree with what gx said.
The only thing I might add is that there are a huge number of die varieties, the major ones being in the inscription, using "autocrat" or "ruler" in the legend. These then exist with varieties of dots, rosettes, dots with crosses on the side opposite the eagle at 12 o'clock.
While I'm not a specialist in Petrine copper, based on the examples I have seen over the years, your coin looks like an attractive example for this very crude copper series. I think it's a nice type coin.
Do you specialise in Russian copper or Russian coins in general, or are you a general world coin collector who has a few Russian coins in your collection?
