this morning, looking to my 1890's rouble, found this one that i didnt pay any atention at first.

it is a 1897 rouble,

looking on the rim more carefoully i have saw the mint marks.

are those 2 birds, instead of 2 stars

can it be a error of the Bruxelles mint, Bitkin numbers 206 or 207?

thank you

ps the above one is a 1898 rouble 2 stars

I tend to agree with BKB on this. The Kazakov reference goes so far as to state categorically that there is no such thing as the Brussels "pattern" roubles. The only one I saw in person which was advertised as a pattern (NY Sale 2007, I believe) had similar-looking damaged stars.

 

There is a variation in size of stars which I have noticed. The "pattern" from the NY Sale had very small stars. Maybe this is the biggest difference?
