one-kuna Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 yea, this one saw a lot of events, and very interesting is its year 1762 - where the rules changes were from Elizabeth to Peter III then to Catherine II.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicholasz219 Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 That looks like an Elizabeth piece, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STEVE MOULDING Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 Yes, 1762 2 Kopecks of Elizabeth. I have images of 35 different examples. Here's one from the Bakken Sale: Gorny 183 (Oct 2009) Lot 7143 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobh Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 Elisabeth died on Dec. 25, 1761. Presumably, the dies for 1762 had already been prepared and probably quite a few coins already struck which later escaped being overstruck with the new designs of Peter III's short and misbegotten reign.
