Special facts

The lightened polushka of 1718–1721 weighs only 1.02 grams, half as much as before. The Naberezhny Mint wrote its date in Slavonic letters; one coin of 1720 has a mixed date, “17K”, with Arabic numerals next to a Slavonic letter.

About the period

The coins of Peter I belong to the time of the monetary reform that took Russia from small silver "scale" coins to round coins of the modern kind and to decimal reckoning: one rouble equals one hundred kopecks. More about the period “Peter I”, 1700 — 1725

Coins and banknotes of these years: 1718, 1719, 1720, 1721
