5 kopecks — Russian Empire (1796)

Special facts

A five-kopek piece of 1796 weighing 51.2 grams, from the first months of Paul I’s reign, when copper coins were being restruck: in 1797, on his order, the ten-kopek pieces of the 1796 pattern were turned back into Catherine-type five-kopek coins.

About the period

The coins of Paul I are coins without a portrait: instead of the emperor's profile, the roubles, poltinas and gold 5 roubles bear a cross of four crowned "П" monograms and the inscription "Не намъ, не намъ, а имяни Твоему" (Not unto us, not unto us, but unto Thy name).
