Special facts
Catherine II’s polushka of 2.56 grams was issued from 1766 to 1796: first at the Yekaterinburg Mint, from 1783 mostly at Suzun, and in the 1790s also at Anninsky and Krasny. The largest issue was 6 million coins in 1770.
About the period
The coins of Catherine II come from the longest reign of the 18th century and form the most recognisable set: heavy copper 5 kopecks, silver and gold with the empress's portrait, and a separate Siberian coinage. More about the period “Catherine II”, 1762 — 1796
