Special facts
Elizabeth’s heavy denga, a half-kopek of 8.19 grams from 1743–1754, the most plentiful copper of the early reign: in 1746 and 1747 the Krasny Mint made more than 83 million dengas a year. Varieties are told apart by the number of feathers in the eagle’s wing.
About the period
The coins of Elizabeth Petrovna belong to the time of the first imperials: in 1755 the gold 10 roubles, called imperials, and the 5 roubles, the half-imperials, appeared. Copper was changed several times over the twenty years of the reign too. More about the period “Elizabeth”, 1741 — 1762
