nice coin, but very bad picture. biggrin.gif I would post a better picture, before specialists start claiming that the mintmark was abrasively removed and the quality of the picture is designed to cover it up. grin.gif

I hope this image is better.

56 from 1756 looks like an overdate over 47. And then the problem is solved: 1747 grivennik has no mintmark (Uzd. 0814). Maybe some old dies were updated in 1756...
BTW: extremely sharp details on coin!!! I like it!

For a moment, you had me confused because these are normally struck without mintmark. biggrin.gif

Then I realized that it was the mintmaster's initials which were missing from the cartouche on the reverse. doh.gif

Neat coin and I assume very rare, because it is missing from every reference I checked.

Also, I see some repunched characters and the overdate, apparently 1756/55 and it's in nice shape to boot. bthumbsup.gif
