He was going to change the crown above the monogram into the Avesta type (Swedish imitation, very expensive). Also he straightened the "7s" of the date the Avesta way.

Sigi There is one thing they cannot easily fake ... the Swedes misspelled the word "КОПҌЕКЪ" on the "genuine" counterfeits by substituting the soft sign: "Ь" for the correct hard sign: "Ъ". Even on this coin, which has been artificially worn to make it difficult to tell any details, you can see that the word "КОПҌЕКЪ" is spelled correctly.
