gxseries Posted October 8, 2006 Report Share Posted October 8, 2006 I personally believe it's a counterfeit. I'll let the others share their opinions. Welcome to coinpeople by the way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a number of obvious indicators. For example, look at the shape of the cross on the orb and its position in relation to the wing feathers.

Ian, It seems to me that you have images of the genuine coin. Could you please up-load them so I could also compare it with my coin? By the way, the people in the other forum encouraged me to put the post in this forum. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gxseries Posted October 9, 2006 Report Share Posted October 9, 2006 This is an excellent example from the Yale library: http://www.library.yale.edu/slavic/coins/h...001.87.312.html The first thing that should strike you is the overall appearance of Anna is somewhat wrong. As well as, the font inscribed is just not right. There are many examples to be listed as well as examples on the net (just hit 1738 ruble and you should be able to find plenty of examples) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
