Always wondering how to definetely distingish High / Low reliefs of the 1859 Commemorative Roubles.

Existance of these two types is mentioned in many books but I could not find any firm detail.
I'm attaching a couple of scans from my collection to start the discussion.

I appreciate your inputs. Regards, Alex

Both are low relief coins.
Bitkin 567.

Can you upload also pictures of reverse sides. (2 Varietes exists)

If you look closer at these scans you should notice some dies differences, though.

Nice coins, LC !

Sorry, but I have no idea on this variety . Most likely, this is a recent "invention" .
