alexbq2 Posted April 14, 2009 Report Share Posted April 14, 2009 These pictures are very small. Very hard to make anything out. Peter I did mint hammered silver kopeeks, all the way to (I think) 1714. They were minted along with the milled copper kopeeks in order to let the population adopt and trust the new copper coins.

STEVE MOULDING Posted April 18, 2009 Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 Thank you for the answers. First coin I have also identifying to be Peter the Great. With the second one I have some doubts. http://www.calgarycoin.com/reference/peter...erwiremoney.htm The second coin is also Peter, for sure. The top line reads (PET)Rb AL(EXEI) and the second VICh. There's really no doubt. I'd recommend reading The Legends on Russian Wire Money from the RNS for a very good tutorial with exercises to help practice identification.
